Issue Position: Improving Education

Issue Position

The key to North Carolina's success is through our schools, from kindergarten to our community colleges and universities.

We must ensure that our students have the tools necessary to succeed in our global economy, but testing is not the answer.

Common Core Standards put corporations and Washington bureaucrats ahead of teachers and parents. North Carolina must have its own rigorous standards.

Teaching is a valuable profession and they deserve the utmost respect. While NC Republicans have done a good job raising teacher pay, more must be done.
