Episode notes

Bidan wants to set aside 450 billion dollars so all three and four year olds in the us can go to pre school. Data shows that when kids are in pre school, more mothers can work, and a family's overall household income increases. The programme would also face immense criticism for doing little to alleviate the challenges that teachers faced,. ages like poverty level wages or massive compensation disparities depending on where you work.

President Biden wants to give Americans four more years of free school: two years of pre-K and two of community college. In a two-part series, Today, Explained’s Haleema Shah explores the challenges of expanding public education.

Today’s show was reported by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
