WASHINGTON,
D.C. -- The New America Foundation's Federal Education Budget
Project (FEBP) today released "
Key Questions on the Obama Administration's 2010 Education Budget". This rapid
response document identifies key issues for policymakers and the media to ask
as they review the President's budget.
In an effort to heighten the quality of debate on federal
education policy, FEBP has reviewed the president's proposals and generated a
list of "Key Questions" policymakers, the media, stakeholder groups, and the
public should ask about the proposals, including questions about:
- New
federal early education programs;
- Funding
changes for Title I, the Teacher Incentive Fund, and other federal
education programs; and
- Changes
to federal higher education grant and loan programs.
Keep an eye out for FEBP's follow-up, the "Analysis of President Obama's Education
Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2010" tomorrow.
