317,000 borrowers who attended the Art Institutes will get their student debt canceled.

This institution defrauded students and borrowers. Our Administration is working to provide these Americans with the relief they need and deserve.

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, & Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) make up less than 3% of teachers, but they make an outsized impact – especially for AANHPI students who see themselves reflected in their educators.

As a parent, I know how important #BetterFAFSA is for families.
2 years ago when filling out the FAFSA w/ my son it took about an hour. This year when filling it out with my daughter it took about 30 minutes. For busy families, that time saved counts.

For more than a decade, hundreds of thousands of hopeful students borrowed billions to attend The Art Institutes and got little but lies in return.

That ends today.

I had a sign in my class that said “let the journey begin”. The journey of being an educator & empowering educators is my life’s purpose.
At the start of this admin we had 0 states with paid teacher apprenticeships, now with hard work, we’ve expanded to 34 states & Puerto Rico.

When it comes to education, we are prioritizing results over rhetoric by investing in our students and:
🍎 Improving literacy
🍎Creating pathways to good paying careers
🍎Making higher education more affordable for all
🍎 Giving borrowers much needed relief

Congratulations to our 2024 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools, District Sustainability Awardees, and Postsecondary Sustainability Awardees!

While some seek to defund public education, I’m here to defend it unapologetically as the foundation of the American Dream.

“Instead of giving schools high marks for the number of students they turn down, we want to recognize schools doing the most to lift students up.” -Secretary Miguel Cardona.

From CT ✈️ AR I’ve visited #FAFSA clinics across the country and have been inspired by how communities are coming together to help students and families fill out their form and receive the aid that they need to make college a reality.

Happy Take Your Child to Work Day from my desk to yours!
