Every child deserves access to high-quality and equitable education.
Every child deserves access to high-quality and equitable education.
Access to a high-quality education is critical for children’s academic and social development. Yet disparities in educational outcomes exist at every level of education, from enrollment in early education programs to standardized test scores in Math and English in elementary grades, to high school graduation rates. To ensure every child has access to high-quality education we advocate for affordable early care and education, responsive K-12 schools, and year-round extra-curricular experiences outside of the classroom to prepare them for academic and career success.
CCC advocates to:
- Create universal early care and education — infant, toddler care, UPK and 3-K — for all children under five with integrated child and family supports.
- Advocate for fair and equitable allocation of New York State and City funding to ensure all public schools have the resources they need to provide students with a high-quality education.
- Strengthen New York State and City’s education policies to eliminate educational attainment gaps based on race, disability, language and economic status.
- Ensure all children receive the help and services needed to successfully complete high school and be college/career ready.
- Prioritize support for students with obstacles to educational success including students in temporary housing, who are homeless, students with disabilities, English-language learners and students in foster care.
- Increase access to afterschool, summer camp and youth development programs.
- Expand access to college saving opportunities.
