In November, voters across the country will head to the polls to cast ballots for the next President and Vice President of the United States. Since the last presidential election, significant education reforms have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, specifically the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Now awaiting further congressional action is the reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins), which could fall into the next President’s lap, along with pending updates to the Higher Education Act (HEA).
Education, and specifically CTE, is the foundation of today’s economy. Expanding, enhancing and supporting rigorous CTE programs across the country is essential to fueling the talent pipeline for the high-skill, high-wage and high-demand careers of the 21st century. As such, it’s important for candidates to clearly articulate their vision on CTE issues. This year, ahead of the first and only Vice Presidential debate, we released three questions we hope candidates will explore and answer throughout the campaign. We’ll also be releasing questions for the presidential debates on Sunday, October 9th, and Wednesday, October 19th.
Please join the conversation by retweeting our questions below, or tweeting your own to @CTEmedia using #Debates and #CareerTechEd. Most importantly, don’t forget to vote!
