Education Policy in the 116th Congress

The nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation has been a trusted resource 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, including early childhood care and learning, K-12 policy, 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.
