turning to our findings on education and communication with students who found education did not consistently provide students with timely information or support. for example nearly three-quarters of calls to education's call center went unanswered during the first five months the rollout due to understaffing. as a result there were fewer staff to answer calls during the first five months of the rollout compared to last year. despite there being twice the call volume. we are recommending education plan for an ensure hiring a sufficient staff going forward. education also use the call centers as method of providing fafsa transmission since the fafsa is currently available in english and spanish however education and provided confusing guidance on how families could obtain translation services. education's web site tells users to contact the call center and press the number seven for translation services but the number seven is not a phone tree option but the only two language options that callers can easily access through the phone. are either english or spanish. callers would likely struggle

i first got involved in education about 24 years ago. i ran for state board of education.king to get typically involved. as a part-time volunteer position a couple days a month. i did that for six years. one of the roles and the state board of colorado and this gets to how i got introduced to this concept. we have a quasijudicial role in our state. when a district turns down the charter application, they make their stage to the stateboard and the stateboard can effectively order the district to grant it. i saw all these great ideas coming from people in that role and help charter schools lunch. ultimately i applied my entrepreneurs to the sector. i started two charter schools myself in colorado. one of them is also in arizona, new mexico now. new america school. one for homeless youth in denver. in congress i served on the education committee the whole time. worked hard as the champion of charter schools in esa and the different charter school applications and no as governor. as a businessperson it became obvious. we already had open enrollment in our state. very excited t

learning and education. would say first, like, it's important for us to seek out with each other industry because it's just a great wealth of knowledge here and elsewhere to understand like how is it currently presently being used in a way that we can leverage it in all a different organizations and the suggestions? but also thinking ahead of like what could be? were not limited to just what it is right now. even the span around for a while it's still in its infancy, and so how can we use it? what i'm excited about is like using ai for like translations. that's amazingea a special like we've had so many educators reach out to us. we cut spanish translations on the site now but there's all these different languages or a teacher gets a kid in mid-school school year and the like my child is english l language learner but their native language is insert native language, like you had this translation on boddle and there's ways to leverage ai

department of education.so, it is testing out. it could be that ohio has big problems. just let me plug ohio's data because it is very good. they are reporting pace. but it could be that ohio is terrible and just use the example from earlier today. michigan is great. i cannot capture those things. if they are following their definition these are kids that are enrolled. they should be pretty good at knowing that these are behaviors within the kids that are enrolled at the school spirit and is really kind of, i am not saying the issue is not in public schools, i am saying we are seeing it in public schools. >> and everywhere. >> justice which the last couple of minutes. you talked about your interest and your research that will be coming out soon about equity and fairness in education choice programs. it is a little edgy because lots of people that like the idea for vouchers and esa and everything else, 5000, $6000, let's go, let's move. we talked about how that may not be the whole playing field that we need t

so what does that look like for schools, for education providers, education innovators?s room tonight is filled with people who are innovative and edgy and have great ideas about education. is there room to advocate nationally maybe by showing what your education is like at your school at your respective institution? is there a way to advocate nationally for more opportunities like that? that testimony of her situation should not ba.1 off should it should be the normal. no doing good at one school there is a school better fitted for that child. how do we leverage our voice not only statewide but nationwide to ensure we get these type of liberties in america? >> denisha meriwether and jeni a davis who sat at the 2020 state of the unit. she was one of 50,000 students on the commonwealth of pennsylvania waitlist. governor tom wolf had vetoed these program several times. we invited them as an example of someone who would benefit if politics were put aside. i think you show the solutions. . not just the problems. this is like my message to washington. people come to washingto

we should do education. education is parenting. parenting is the education of the child's sam sorbo. were you working while homeschooling children? yeah. how did that go for? how do you manage that? well like i said, it's not a full time job. it's it's a full time job in the sense that it's 24, seven. but the actual effort of the school work and i overdid it was less than 3 hours a day for me, for three kids. and yeah, maybe some nights you have to give up your nights because you need to grade that paper. you need to read that essay and tell kid what he did wrong. yes, but i would forego drinks with the girls to spend time with my children every every night of the week. i mean, you make the what they call sacrifices you make those concessions because on the on flip side, what you get as a product that is beyond your wildest dreams. that's that's really the biggest sort of thing. this whole thing is schools are not better than homeschooling. and the proof is there. the homeschoolers score better academically. they do better socially

he focuses on the return to investment in higher education student loans and higher education reform. and last but not least, derrell bradford, who leads our communications and policies trains and recruits look a little loose nationwide -- leaders nationwide. with this panel, which is an event part of the james q. wilson program here at aei we have a relatively simple show. i will give a quick rundown of the results so far from the top to the bottom of the ballot and then we will have a panel discussion for about one hour and then open it up to questions from our audience here, those on the livestream, and our friends watching on c-span. we want to make sure all of the in person and online can ask questions and you can do that by submitting questions on twitter using the #2024 education. without further ado, i will run through some of the election results. donald trump got 277 electoral votes. harris earned 224. trump won north carolina, pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin. arizona, nevada, and michigan have not been called. in the senate we have 52 republicans already called and 42 demo

because the opportunities out there for education are so great. we have online education. we have every form of education that you can imagine in the american university system has always been seen as the crown jewel of university systems. the universities here are the places that everybody has wanted to come to you from all over the world but i fear greatly right now that our university systems, in terms of the malign powers that you mentioned, has become perhaps a liability. because they have been infiltrated so much by people who are teaching things that are antithetical to what the hamilton society believes in, certainly, that we are an exceptional country, that we are an exceptional people, that we are shining a light on the hill. so our he about the fact that universities have allowed themselves to be taken over. they have almost become daycare centers for whiny liberals. [laughter] and when you look at it, i was reading an article a couple weeks old about grades, for example, and how now, the average grade at the most elite institution is an a. it is just ridiculous

of education. you know, it is tough to know. it could be that ohio has big problems. let me plug the ohio data, because it is very good, and i appreciate that state and their reporting pace. but it could be that ohio is terrible and just use the example from earlier in the day, michigan is great. but i really can't capture those things. i can't say if they are following their definitions, these are kids that are enrolled. they should be pretty good at knowing that these are behaviors within the kids that are enrolled at the schools. it is really kind of -- i'm not saying the issue isn't in public schools, i'm saying that we are seeing it in public schools. >> and everywhere. just to switch on the final couple of minutes, you and i have talked about your interest and research that is going to be coming out soon about equity and fairness in education choice programs. it is a little edgy, because lots of people who like the idea of doctors and everything else, we pass, it's great, $5000, let's go. you

education.re's so much of our work in terms of educating people and understanding the risks or what the potential is, and the ways in which we can address that so i haven't entirely abandoned the teaching thing. what you said is so important, right? and i think that it's-- it is -- our systems and we can talk about the promise and the opportunity, what we believe it can do from a productivity perspective, all that, it is helping us in terms of innovation and there are some really amazing use cases. for instance, being able to like predict up to 15 months before clinical manifestation of heart disease so they can provide people preventive care, heart disease being the number one killer of people of all, you know, backgrounds, right? that's an ai use case that is tremendous, or that now we can actually augment some of the teachers' capabilities because we can give customized learning and student tutoring, et cetera, in the way that a teacher or in the way that a student might need because the teac

we were looking at education, they have to keep two things in mind. one is what matters is the net price and all of the aau institutions are offering significant financial aid to their students, so people have to look carefully at what they are actually going to pay. in the second is the critical question about education is that return on investment, figure out exactly what the net price is and pay attention to what you're getting from that. education isn't a consumer good to be simply used up in the way that something that we purchase our. it is much more like the kind of investments that you make for a long time and it is one of the best investments that you will ever make. host: nonetheless, there are people taking out a lot of student loans in order to pay for college. do you take a position on student loan forgiveness? guest: the aau doesn't have an official position on student loan forgiveness. we have a commitment to affordability. we believe that the government should increase the pell grants that enable students from low income families to at

our students deserve the best education that our district can possibly provide our educators, includingparaeducators, including our nurses, including our counselors and our social workers. they are the ones who provide the education to our students. it's not central office management. in just last week, we have been hearing horror stories that some of you heard here tonight where educators and paraeducators have been describing these conditions about being hurt because they're not fully staffed, not being able to meet the iep needs of their students, and they're thinking of leaving the district. we have been in conversation with regina and other district leaders in special education to provide. i'm sorry. that's your time. thank you. yeah. we want more educators. not. good evening. my name is alan d'souza. i'm a librarian at city college. i have the joy of serving your students that come through our doors. i have a joy of working with a dual enrollment students that come through our doors. and i love what happens there. i'm afraid of what's happening in 2025, where the threat is going t

by re-authorizing the holocaust education resources for teachers and students, the never again education re-authorization act of 2023 is a vital step in fighting back against anti-semitism and acts of hate that remain far too pervasive in our society. by prioritizing we can invest in a younger generation of critical thinkers who can learn from history and use it to benefit the world around them with empathy and insight. urge my colleagues to support the bill and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from north carolina is recognized -- the gentlewoman from north carolina is recognized. ms. foxx: i yield myself the plans of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. foxx: mr. speaker, anti-semitism exploded on college campuses across the country following october 7, 2023. increasing 700% over the same period in the prior year. swastikas spread across campus as graffiti. jewish students were segregated in classrooms by their professors. jewish students at new york city's cooper union were forced to lock the

educators freedom to teach.icies at the state level that understand and will stay focused on the promise of america. we are depending upon you. to promote and to protect and to strengthen public education as the foundation of this or any democracy. we are depending on you. so thank you for being here and thank you for what i know you will do. you heard from my fellow panelists. the national education association for the nation's largest labor union is no different than what you heard described here. i think a lot of people within organizations were unaware of the role that ai would play a role, using classical, traditional, that kind of thing, to gather data and do some analysis but when we start to talk about generative a high, our focus is on making sure our students and people who dedicated their lives to educating, teaching, have what they need to play the essential role that they must play as educators. this particular technology begins, not begins, is growing exponentially and that will be the focus of the

>> the education system is key.you have to control the transmission of values the transmission of values in a large public school system like we have in the united states comes in the public school classrooms. they were very explicit. i hundred neo- marxist individuals working in the field of education and the universities and then they spread their ideas k-12 bureaucracy. they have done brilliantly is force those ideas through diversity equity and inclusion close programs to the point now what i have discovered is the marxist revolutionary literature of the black panther party and underground is exactly the same to soften the language as many of the k-12 curricula and states like california, washington, oregon and illinois. we see this remarkable traveling. to your child's kindergarten classroom. you need to know the history. you need to know where comes from you need to see the language if you want to get this out of the classroom and if you want to re- instill american principles in america's public education. ma

i do believe in higher education. and 61 years old. i wish i could go out to all these high school kids and tell everyone if you end up being an organic housekeeper like myself, and they also got to training at a job that does not pay well. that is my passion, i love it. i am for protesting as long as it is civil, but in austin, texas governor abbott brought in the state troopers and it got real violent because of the state troopers. i want everybody to know i quit buying into this propaganda years ago. i learned a lot. to me, doctors without borders, all these major newspapers say these children have bullets in their heads, and yes, the students are passionate and we want that. i think the university should protest. with the republican house and now senate, anyway, thank you, c-span, forgiving the people to voice. host: any comments? guest: thank you for calling in. one thing i would say is we want our students to have engaged in passionate opinions that you have engaged in passionate opinions. and over this past year, they are someti

broad education changes made. one point about our education system, it's kind of grand bargain proof. it is very federalist. 10 cents on the dollar comes from the federal government. and there are a lot of vested interest. but it is fracturing. a lot makes the grand, bargaining difficult. laura, back to you. >> thank you. we'll start with healthcare. bill, i think when we talk about brand bargain, people think they will get something and give something. so maybe you're willing to sign on for that. but i can imagine a lot of americans, if they absorb this. and they heard what you were suggesting for healthcare, would feel more like they were mostly giving something. they'd be getting less subsidies for health insurance. employers wouldn't give them as generous a package. medicare would be squeezing cost. they couldn't get procedures approved. what bell is in it for projectors. >> given see -- well, listen, hopefully they have better health. >> but how are they getting better health? >> we're focusing on the prevent

and i believe in higher education. i am 69 years old.ish i could go on a high school tour and tell everybody, when you make bad grades, you end up being an institutional housekeeper miltz. but i also went to learn phlebotomy doesn't play as well. i'm also a musician for 30 years, and that doesn't pay well. but it's my passion. >> governor abbott brought in the state troopers. and it got real violent because of the state troopers. and that was terrible. and i want everybody to know, i quit buying into the israeli propaganda about 5 years ago. i learned a lot. and to me, i learned that doctors without borders and their reports now, and all of these major newspapers saying that these children have bullets in their heads, they are kidnapping doctors, and yes, the students are passionate, and they don't want that! and i think universities should protest against that. but i don't want any, you know, with the republican, house announced senate, they're going topaz that bill y'all just showed. anyway, thank you, c-span, for giving us, the people

coming up, chair of economic advisers jared bernstein, then health and education advocates examine education workforce reform policies and reducing healthcare costs hosted by the brookings institution and the american enterprise institute. [inaudible conversations] on c-s so today we gather a moment where our nation faces significant economicer challengs that demands thoughtful bipartisan solutions. the issue before us from fiscal responsibility and economic growth to tax reform, health care, education, environmental policy are complex and often contentious. far important to remain trapped in partisan gridlock. today marks important step forward. several distinguished economists produce comprehensive report demonstrating we can find common ground while maintaining different viewpoints. remains possible on even our most challenging issues. among the many smart observations to emerge from this effort and there are many, is the notion that bipartisan proposals should arise from shared objectives and values. here the authors of the report identified 5 key things. work and savings should be rewar

educate them. michael: more questions. let's get mr. faller and then ms. jarvis. >> when i was in undergraduate back when dinosaurs ruled the earth, when i started in college, i found that the professors all seemed to have one particular viewpoint. this was particularly evident in the political science department where i took most courses. i did not know enough back then to really express a viewpoint, how should i phrase it, adequately. every time i tried to do it seemed to me that although the professors professed openness, willingness to tolerate my viewpoints, they were shocked when they found there wasn't a viewpoint, and i could not really -- i felt like a cancerous cell in the class. no one really wanted, the professors didn't want to listen to me, and i just felt that wasn't appropriate but i didn't know how to deal with it, i did know whether i should go to my class advisor, whether i should go to the head of the department or whatever, so i didn't. i expressed my opinions and so on in exam

broad education changes made. one point about our education system, it's kind of grand bargain proof. it is very federalist, ten cents on the dollar comes from the federal government, and there are a lot of vested interests. but it's the fracturing of our education system where we have 50 states that have to play a role that makes a grand bargain very difficult. so, laura, back to you with. >> thank you. thank you all very much for those really interesting thoughts. we'll start with health care. i think when we think about grand bargain, people think they're going to get something. and so maybe you're willing to sign on for that. but i can imagine a lot of americans that the, say, absorb this, and they heard what you were suggesting for health care which seemed more like they were mostly giving something. subsidies for their health insurance, their employers wouldn't givein them as generoua package, medicare would be squeezing costs, they couldn't get the procedures approved. what exactly is in it for american hea

somebody comes to the university and says they are to be educated, then you have an obligation to educate them. >> more questions? let's get, then ms. jarvis. >> when i was an undergraduate back when dinosaurs ruled the earth, when i started in college , i found that the professors seem to have one particular viewpoint. this is evident in the economics department and political science department where i took most courses. i didn't know enough back then to really express a viewpoint and how should i phrase it? adequately is the only word i can use. it seemed to me that all of the professors professed openness and willingness to tolerate viewpoints and they were shocked when they found the westerners viewpoint. i thought it was a cancerous cell in the class. none of the professors wanted to listen to me and i think that was very appropriate. i didn't know how else to deal with it. i didn't know if i should go to my class adviser or if i should go to the head of the department or whatever. i didn't. i expressed my opinions and so on in exams. fortunately, we had an anonymous grading system,

years in education.after world war ii we saw high school graduation go up. in recent years something like 14 years of education becoming the norm, we turned up the dial as far as we want to go in terms of quantity of education and we want to shift the focus to quality of education. so we spent time talking about issues of k-12, the first deck of the k-12, a decade or more of academic research is definitively shown, teachers are the most important part of someone's learning. we know that teachers have impact on students real-life outcomes whether they drop out of high school, or how much they earn later on. on the other hand, we have not been able to translate that from research into straightforward policy prescriptions to improve teaching quality as experienced by a student. solutions involve a lot of trial and error and have to be local, trial and error multifaceted etc. . where we definitely agree is we are going to need more resources to improve the quality of teaching but don't think it is appropriat

while the cost of health care, housing and education has skyrocketed. meanwhile, those regenerational -- with generational wealth have used their influence to shape policies that protect their fortunes while communities across america are left behind. this is not inevitable, it's a choice. i want to talk briefly about military spending for a moment. tupac's words ring true today. we got money for wars but can't feed the poor. the u.s. spends over $886 billion annually on defense, more than the next 10 countries combined. yet millions of americans struggle with poverty, housing insecurity, access to childcare and education, billions of dollars are wasted on overbudget weapons programs, failed projects and unnecessary overseas military bases. we can and must reinvest our money in the american people. and i'll close with this. never in my life did i think i would be elected to any office. let alone the united states house of representatives. it was not on my to-do list, on my bucket list. i don't even know how i got here, quite frankly. but i will say, it
