Quality Education Data Is Key to Our Nation’s Education and Economic Goals
All students deserve a great education, one that affords them every opportunity to grow into knowledgeable and successful adults. To make this vision a reality, students, parents, educators, taxpayers, and policymakers must have access to the right information to make decisions that support student learning. The next president can change the role of data in education from a tool of compliance to an instrument that informs families’ education decisions and choices, empowers teachers to personalize learning, increases transparency, enriches public accountability, promotes equity, and fuels schools’ efforts to continuously improve.
