Best Answer

John McCain's educational policies are centered around accountability and school choice. He wants to define public education as public funding of a child's education in whatever school the parent chooses (within a budget), instead of as strictly government run schools to which parents must send their children if they can't afford good private schools.

He supports school vouchers His voting record does not show much support for the department that monitors the 'No Child Left Behind' program.

But, he would like to build on NCLB by emphasizing high standards and accountability rather than rewarding students who perform against a common standard- and making exceptions by constantly lowering standards for failing students. In 2007 John McCain voted against the 'Student Loan Lender Subsidy Cuts and Student Grants'.

Regarding higher education, McCain is opposed to the complicated financial aid application process and favors a more simplified approach that would include direct tax benefits to those families who choose to send their children to college. John McCain is against tax supported public school programs and public school funding that have led to ineffective and unproductive results. On December 11, 1994 (14 years ago), John McCain said: 'I think that given the origins of the Department of Education, I would favor doing away with it.'

His current goals for the Department of Education as stated on his website include: Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.

• Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research.

• Focusing national attention on key educational issues.

• Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education. He also supports over $500 million for grants in favor of virtual and digital learning, as well as expanded online education- a factor he sees as a big part of the future education system.
