Issues In the 115th Congress

The nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation has been a trusted, unbiased source for congressional staff on both sides of the aisle for decades. Our experts have served as a resource on a variety of education topics in recent years, from early childhood care and learning and K-12 issues through career and technical education, higher education, and workforce development. Below are some examples of expertise that address issues likely to confront Congress in this new session.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions, would like to speak to a RAND researcher, or would like a copy of a RAND report.
