Issue Position

New Mexico needs leadership ready to raise graduation rates, help students build skills, and provide real opportunities in higher education.

Michelle will make our universities more efficient and create new performance measures. Measures to limit costs, expand financial aid for the neediest, and sustain and improve the lottery scholarship will help all students afford college. And Michelle will make sure every student is able to graduate and succeed by providing more flexible options for career training, overhauling our remedial education, aligning high school and college requirements, and expanding mentoring programs that are proven to help students thrive. With these changes in place, we can ensure every NM student who wants to is able to earn a certification or two/four-year degree.
