On Education.
"No issue, no concern, no institution means more to me than education. For millions of Americans, education is the ladder of opportunity that helps make the American dream a reality."
End the assault. In the last seven years, the Republicans have launched an assault on education — from kindergarten through graduate school. The Republicans have cut aid to education by 16 percent and slashed funds for programs ranging from special elementary instruction to college loans. Mike Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen will reverse the Republican attack on education.
College opportunity. Mike Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen will make sure that financial need never stops young people who are prepared and qualified to enter college. They'll end the current Administration's assault on Pell Grants and college work loans. They'll encourage states to create college opportunity funds and tuition prepayment plans that allow parents to save and guarantee a college education for their children. And they'll design a Student Tuition and Repayment System (STARS) that will allow students to repay college loans through future payroll withholding.
Drug-free schools. Mike Dukakis knows how to fight drugs; his efforts in Massachusetts have won him national recognition. As President, he'll lead a National Alliance Against Drugs to educate young people about the dangers of drug abuse. He'll aim for drug-free schools in the 1990s.
Teacher excellence. The Dukakis/Bentsen team is ready to make teaching a valued and honored profession once again. They'll create a National Teaching Excellence Fund to recruit and train top teachers. And they'll launch a new National Teachers Corps, providing college scholarships and loan breaks to students who commit to becoming teachers.
Fighting illiteracy. 25 million Americans can't read the morning paper or fill out a job application. The Dukakis/Bentsen team will launch a war on adult illiteracy. They'll form a Volunteer Citizens Literacy Corps and press for state seed grants—matched by the private sector—to increase volunteer programs, expand computer usage, and build on-the-job literacy programs.
The Dukakis-Bentsen Record
• As Governor, Mike Dukakis enacted sweeping school reforms to make educational opportunities equal, raise teacher salaries, reward outstanding teachers and introduce new technology in classrooms.
• In the past five years, spending on Massachusetts elementary and high school students has increased by almost 50 percent.
• Under Governor Dukakis's leadership, state scholarships have grown five-fold since 1981, nearly twice the growth rate of other industrial states.
• In his three terms in the Senate, Lloyd Bentsen has led the fight to assist lowincome and handicapped children.
• Senator Bentsen has been a driving force behind job training and vocational educational programs.
Education is our future. Vote Dukakis/Bentsen.
