Headings and ordering

I have reworked to headings into a structure which should be clear, and have done a small amount of reordering (to keep K-12 funding with K-12 etc). I haven't added to removed any content. PeterEastern (talk)

Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 March 2022 and 30 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Yajzel V (article contribs).

Please check the numbers in the section on Cost

The article states: "Yearly total cost ... [to attend] public university is $27,967" The article also states: "the median salary of an individual who has only a high school diploma is $27,967" It seems unlikely that these two amounts are identical. So I am suggesting the numbers be re-checked for accuracy and then: -- If the numbers are correct add a note remarking on the unlikeliness of it so the reader is reassured this isn't a typo, or -- If the numbers are not correct please change them to the correct values 104.174.240.93 (talk) 03:04, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Updates

Several sections of this article appear to be out of date. NCES has made more current statistics available to the public and I will use them to update the various sections. In addition, the history section is incomplete and misleading. I will update that section as well. EdHistory101 (talk) 13:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teacher conditions issues

Under the issues section of this article, I plan on adding information about the current teacher shortage and causes regarding it. I also plan on moving the "teacher pay" section into the issues section under a new "teacher shortage" section and further expanding it. Cgt221 (talk) 19:28, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
