Education Explainer
Arizonans have told us they are looking for a nonpartisan source of information about important P-20 education issues. They’ve shared with us that they want factual information to understand how these issues impact schools, students, educators, and families from a nonpartisan perspective.
In response to this feedback, Education Forward Arizona will share information to help you understand key education issues. We will do our best to share factual information that puts our students and educators at the center of the conversation. We’ll also share our perspective and how the issues can help us increase education attainment and drive progress towards the Education Progress Meter goals.
