Promoting America's Economic Security through Education

Jason Bordoff, The Brookings Institution

Abstract

I am particularly pleased that the conference organizers included a panel on education as part of a conference about our nation's security. I want to do two things with my few minutes: first, paint a broad picture about the relationship between education and promoting our nation's economic security. And, second, describe one aspect of The Hamilton Project's strategy and how it applies to the issue of college affordability, which is critically important to raising levels of educational attainment.
