PennLive letters: Pre-K education is an issue for the military, too
Department of Defense report… shows 75 percent of young Americans are unfit for military service because they are either too poorly educated, have serious criminal records, or are obese.
Unfortunately less than 30 percent of Pennsylvania’s 3 and 4-year olds have access to high-quality Pre-K. When state lawmakers return to Harrisburg in June, they should ensure that more kids are served by accepting Governor Corbett’s proposed increase to Pre-K Counts as part of the final budget.
The Notebook: Editorial: Glimmers of optimism
In 1994, full-day kindergarten still was missing from most high-poverty schools here. That fight has been won, and now the public campaign has moved to expanding access to quality pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds. With most state legislators and the governor up for election this year, the “Pre-K for PA” campaign is positioned to win a statewide commitment to new investments in early education.
