dc.description.abstract | Public education is the strongest way to address our country's poverty as an institution
grounded in both political and moral reasoning. However, our current school system is
flawed with inequality. I find that inequalities in education begin even before children enter
kindergarten and the school system is never able to overcome this initial negative impact. I
propose Universal Preschool to combat these early inequalities. A universal program would
provide social, health, and educational benefits to the participant as well as providing benefits
to their families and society at large. I address the major critiques of this proposal and show
that while their arguments have validity, the potential costs of Universal Preschool are
considerably smaller than the potential benefits. | en_US |
