With the election is done and over, what does an Obama administration mean for present and future students? The President Elect has made several policies and speeches about education during his campaigning. But, what will be some of the changes and how will that affect you?  

Here are some of the changes that Obama proposed throughout the campaign:

The Early Head Start program entails increased accessibility to preschool, provide affordable and quality child care and increase coordination across federal, state and local levels. Proposes to increase the child and dependent care tax credit.
