Public Support Grows for Higher Teacher Pay and Expanded School Choice

Summary: With the 2020 presidential election campaign now underway, education-policy proposals previously at the edge of the political debate are entering the mainstream. The tenor of these provocative ideas is resonating with the American public. Support for increasing teacher pay is higher now than at any point since 2008, and a majority of the public favors more federal funding for local schools. Free college commands the support of three in five Americans. Support for school vouchers has shifted upward, and tax-credit scholarships along the lines proposed by the current administration now command the support of a sizable majority of adults.
