Policy & Advocacy
Education and training beyond high school are critical to Arizona’s long-term economic strength, workforce competitiveness, and quality of life.
At Education Forward Arizona, we use data, research, and statewide insights to help illuminate both the opportunities and risks facing Arizona’s education-to-workforce pipeline.
Our 2026 Priorities
We are the nonpartisan statewide voice and trusted source for education attainment and workforce alignment. We elevate priority issues, equip partners with facts and tools, and activate Arizonans to push for progress on Arizona Education Progress Meter goals.
Advocates Network
Through partnerships, convenings, and shared messaging, we help connect people and organizations so they can align their efforts and advocate more effectively for learners across the state.
Advocacy Updates, AZ Policy & Education Explainers
Through reports, briefs, Education Explainers and analysis, we highlight where Arizona is making progress, where persistent attainment and opportunity gaps remain, and what is needed to ensure more Arizonans are prepared for the demands of a rapidly evolving economy.
Arizona Voter Poll Data
Public opinion polls show that Arizonans support public education and want to increase opportunities to reach the state’s attainment goal. They also clearly identify the barriers Arizonans say are keeping them from attending and completing higher education.
