You can spend a lot of money on education, but if you don't spend it wisely, on improving the quality of instruction, you won't get higher student outcomes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
We spend more than a million dollars a year on our colleges and university, and it is money well spent; but we must have education that fits not the few but the many for the business of life.
If people are persuaded of the need for education and the need to invest in education, they're also persuaded of the need not to waste that investment by having low-quality education but to have high-quality education.
Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education.
You cannot simply put more money into the same system and get better results, so we will need to reform and innovate in the delivery of education.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
Higher education should be based on quality, not quantity; receive merit-based funding; and be free of unnecessary bureaucracy. Not the least of the benefits of educational reform is to foster the pride of achievement at national and international levels.
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
I think if you have to pay for your education, you worry very seriously about you're going to do when you've got your degree.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
