The Issue
Learning is a life-long process. The early formative time (2-4 years old) is crucial for children to gain basic skills and habits. This, pre-school programs for every young one is vital. The curricula of elementary, secondary, and high school levels should give solid education, built on proven truth, factual science, and real-world realities. Students for two-year, four-year, and advanced degrees may need financial aid. And the elder generation, more and more, seeks to keep growing and learning in community colleges, by distance learning on-line, and elsewhere. The role of a healthy, nurturing society is to offer possibilities, at every stage of life, for all who need and desire to keep learning.
