Biden's plans for education
Biden is advocating to make public colleges and universities tuition-free for students with family incomes under $125,000. He links this proposal to the 2017 College for All Act, legislation introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington state.
Biden also wants to extend the 2017 proposal to include private historically Black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions. The plan would allocate $70 billion toward those institutions to advance and expand facilities, educational and technological infrastructure and financial accessibility.
He also pledges to make community college and training programs tuition-free for two years of attendance. The plan would invest $50 billion in workforce training programs CONTINUE READING: Trump Vs. Biden On Education Policy, Student Loans : NPR
