During a stop in Knoxville, TN on Thursday, President Obama proposed his plan to offer free community college nationwide essentially “extending government-funded education from Kindergarten through a two-year degree.”
According to President Obama, he plans to extend this offer to fund the first two years of community college to “anyone who is willing to work for it.” This proposal is an extremely important one because it could offer students from all walks of life the opportunity to obtain a free college education. As one who believes strongly in the merits of a college education, I can only hope that this initiative will truly become a reality. tlb
