Education

 

The federal government should empower schools, administrators, and teachers to develop tailored strategies that best equip students for success in a global, high-tech economy, rather than imposing one-size-fits-all mandates. As both the governor of North Dakota and now a U.S. Senator, I have consistently championed policies that balance educational accountability with the necessary local flexibility to meet unique needs.

To ensure our students are prepared to thrive in an increasingly competitive world, we must prioritize giving educators the resources and professional development they need. The future of our nation—and our ability to compete on the global stage—hinges on strengthening science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, training, and research. These fields drive innovation, foster critical thinking, and prepare students for the demands of the modern workforce. By investing in STEM education, we are investing in the future of our economy and ensuring that our next generation of leaders and workers is prepared to meet the challenges ahead.
