DNC education platform big on past accomplishments, defends federal department

Democrats at their party's convention in Chicago have unveiled an education platform that combines old priorities such as universal pre-K and free community college with slams against Republicans over Project 2025 and “private-school vouchers.” 

Instead of new policies, Democrats focus their platform on the accomplishments of the past four years and measures such as President Biden’s student debt relief, offering few details on how their initiatives would be implemented but a defense of the federal government's role in education.
