President Joe Biden says 12 years of education is no longer enough to compete in the 21st century. He’s announced a $1.8 trillion proposal that includes universal pre-school, two years of free community college, and funding for childcare. Brian Guttman is with the Education Trust-Midwest, which is dedicated to improving education for students in Michigan.

“We think that this plan, the American Families Plan, offers for children, students, and families really important new opportunities,” Guttman said. “That’s through early childhood education and free community college, other ways to help kids access and complete higher education.”

Guttman says Michigan is behind the national average in education on almost every benchmark.
