Education

This desk covers how Texas educates and prepares its people, from a prekindergarten seat to a welding certificate to a research university. We follow the money that funds public schools, the community colleges and universities that carry students toward a credential, the workforce programs that connect that credential to an open job, and the gaps in access that decide who reaches the next rung. The aim is to explain how learning becomes livelihood, and where the pipeline holds or leaks.
