Biden Administration Announces 2024 Plan to Improve Student Achievement
The new agenda focuses on combating absenteeism, increasing tutoring, and expanding afterschool and summer education to address learning loss due to the pandemic.
- The Biden Administration has announced its 'Improving Student Achievement Agenda' for 2024, focusing on three main strategies: fighting absenteeism, increasing tutoring, and focusing on afterschool, extended, and summer education.
- The average student currently lags in math by approximately half a school year, and a third of a year in reading due to the pandemic's impact on education.
- The federal government is pledging to help with strategies, resources, and even funding to improve student achievement, with the aim of ensuring every child in every school is succeeding and being set up for their future.
- The Administration is urging states to adopt these strategies, with the belief that reducing absenteeism, providing high-dosage tutoring, and increasing afterschool and summer learning can improve student performance.
- Several national and philanthropic groups are joining in on the initiative to support academic achievement, including The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Afterschool Alliance, and Wallace Foundation.
