Education has always been a big discussion in any election in Texas and this upcoming Governors election is no different. Rick Perry plans to continue to help improve schools technology access and continue to help focus in the STEM package because as he states “We live in a global marketplace where science, technology, engineering and math are very important subjects for the good-paying jobs of the future.” He wants to transition to digital textbook and more school networks to help drop outs get a good job. Bill White on other hand argues for these five goals: reduce the dropout rate, expand pre-kindergarten classes, de-emphasize standardized tests, increase technical education and make college more affordable. The article also discusses education spending and how each would do a better job than the other. I believe this article is very important because it not only affects us as college students but also the next generation of students. What we do now affects the next generation, so it very important that we know everything we can about what these two politicians plan to do for education so as to make the best decision to help improve our great country.
