Betsy DeVos: “We should be shooting for excellence across the board, but in no way should it be a top-down, one size fits all solution…”

I think, importantly, that flexibility at the State and local level would really allow those closest to the students to target those resources.

I think the block grant proposal is really sort of transformative in that way because it would allow for all of the uses of those programs.

My focus is and always will be on students and on helping all students get a great education through an equal opportunity.

We have got to continue to raise the specter of these opportunities and give them equal credence to the unspoken or often very verbally articulated pressure to go to a 4-year college.
