Plan Calls For 2 Years Preschool, Higher Education
Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Joe Biden is calling for a revolution in education.
Biden visited East High School on Thursday morning. Biden said he wants to pour millions of dollars into education. He wants to provide two years of preschool for children. He also wants to make sure that students can afford at least two years of higher education.
Biden said he wants to raise teacher pay to make it more competitive with other professions.
"If you value education, you have to pay for it. But don't give me some malarkey about caring about children, but you're not prepared to pay," he said.
Biden said he also wants to add 100,000 new teachers to classrooms to reduce class size.
