Transform Education New Mexico

Albuquerque, Albuquerque Metro

New Mexicans have a historic opportunity to transform education for our children and teachers. Our students are just as talented and capable as those anywhere in the country. They come from diverse cultures, heritages and languages that should be honored and embraced. Yet, these cultural assets are routinely ignored within the education system. Our public schools have been starved of resources, teachers are undervalued, and students lack instructional materials. For decades, the state has failed to provide our students with the education they need and deserve and are promised by our state constitution, creating some of the worst racial and economic inequalities for educational achievement in the country. Sweeping changes must be made so that all our students are career and college ready. Our communities must lead the way to fundamentally reimagine and transform our schools. Now is the time for change – for a truly visionary and transformative approach to education.
