Dear reader,
Questions abound for education as the country begins to emerge from the painful and often crippling pandemic. That’s why we at The Hechinger Report are immersing ourselves in reporting on the challenges ahead.
For higher education, that includes a very real struggle to find skilled labor, a need for institutions to work together to change and improve higher education and the hidden debt that prevents many students from moving forward.
On the K-12 level, pandemic relief funds could reduce class sizes, although the research on how effective that might be is mixed. In the meantime, signs of hope are emerging in the form of brightly colored “magic” buses that are coming back to life and entrancing students, after a year of sitting idle.
What are your questions about the future of education? As always, we love to hear from our readers.
Liz Willen, Editor
