Julián Castro makes universal pre-K focus of education plan
Associated PressAUSTIN, Texas — Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro on Monday unveiled an education plan that joins other 2020 candidates in calling for tuition-free higher education, universal prekindergarten and raising teacher pay. This time, Castro is getting behind education reforms that other candidates have also embraced ahead of the first debates in June that he believes will offer his slow-building campaign a new chance to stand out. Expanding prekindergarten was arguably Castro’s signature mark during his five years as mayor of San Antonio, where he convinced voters to fund early education programs through part of the city’s sales tax. Other Democratic candidates are also embracing tuition-free higher education and reforming the nation’s student loan programs.
