What U.S. public education might look like with a Clinton or Trump presidency

Education policy has received little attention in a 2016 White House race that has been dominated by debate about immigration, terrorism, foreign policy and presidential temperament. And yet in their public statements, and now in responses to questions from The Washington Post, the two major-party candidates have offered vastly different visions for the nation’s public schools.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has sidestepped some of the polarizing Obama-era policies that drew backlash from teachers, emphasizing that she wants to improve education by offering universal preschool nationwide, reforming school discipline and investing in expanded computer science offerings. Republican nominee Donald Trump, on the other hand, has repeatedly criticized the nation’s education system as failing, saying that U.S. students demonstrate poor achievement given how much the nation spends on schools.
