Andrew Cuomo has his own platform on education. Governor Cuomo believes that the only way to achieve a dynamic economic future for all New Yorkers is by ensuring that all children receive a quality education that prepares them for the 21st century. Ever since Governor Cuomo first took office New York has become the leader in the nation in placing the most effective teachers in the classroom. Every school in New York now has a teacher evaluation system to ensure a performance based approach to student learning. The Governor also increased budgets in the past couple years and will do so again if he gets reelected. In the past 3 years he has increased funding for education by $2.9 billion. He is planning on using that money to compete with charter schools. Also he proposed a $2 billion "smart school" bond that will re imagine our classrooms for our high tech world and level the playing field so that income won't effect the level of access students have to technology in schools. His basic motto for education is putting students first.
