Obama talks universal preschool again
President Barack Obama is doubling down on his proposal to give all kids a
publicly-funded preschool education, but experts are skeptical the policy
will work.
The president discussed his education policy plans during a major speech at
Fort Knox College in Illinois on Wednesday, turning once against to the idea
of providing all pre-kindergarten students with a federally-funded
preschool education.
“If you think education is expensive, wait until you see how much ignorance
costs in the 21st century,” he said. “That’s why I’ll keep pushing to
make high-quality preschool available to every four year-old in America —
not just because we know it works for our kids, but because it provides a
vital support system for working parents.”
But many policy experts who have studied the impact of early childhood
education on kids maintain that there is no evidence to show such schooling
is worthwhile.
“There are reasons to doubt that we yet know how to design and deliver a
government funded pre-K program that produces sufficiently large benefits to
justify prioritizing pre-K over other investments in education,” wrote
Grover Whitehurst, Director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the
Brookings Institute.
