Education
John McCain:
Voted for, and remains supportive of, the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act. Also favors vouchers for private schools and merit pay for teachers, stances he says will help at-risk and impoverished children the most. "I want to reward good teachers," he told the NAACP.
Barack Obama:
Opposed to vouchers, but favors more parental choice in public charter schools. Proposes free community college, a $4,000 tax credit for college students, and paying tuition of would-be teachers. Describes U.S. public education as "morally unacceptable."
