  • According to the Department of Education in 2011, the Obama-Biden administration "has dramatically boosted Pell grant funding by more than $40 billion; increased tax incentives for higher education by more than 90 percent through the American Opportunity Tax credit; simplified the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, making it easier for students to apply for grants and loans; provided common-sense student loan repayment options with the Income-Based Repayment program; and implemented a program that forgives the debt of students who dedicate 10 years to public service after graduation."[1]
  • Joe Biden voted in favor of HR 1 - No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which became law on January 8, 2002. During the 2008 vice presidential debate, however, Biden criticized the implementation of the program, saying, "The reason No Child Left Behind was left behind, the money was left behind, we didn't fund it."[2][3][4]
  • Biden voted in favor HR 1804 - Goals 200: Educate America Act, which became law on March 31, 1994, and established the National Education Standards and Improvement Council to set student achievement goals and improve academic quality standards.[5][6]
