iReporter: ikra wishes she had gone through with her original plan for a four year degree. The byden plan covers just two years of community college, but in ikra's case, community college was already practically free. So how much will tuition free community college really change? There's one state that might answer that question because it implemented a state wide version of byden's plan.

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.

This episode was reported by Haleema Shah, fact checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, edited by Matt Collette with help from Jillian Weinberger, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
