America’s Economy v. the World, Trump v. Harris on Education Policy

Ravi dives into a new series from The Economist that examines how the U.S. economy has outperformed much of the world over the past 30 years and the key factors driving the country’s success. Next, he sits down with Beth Hawkins from The 74 to discuss the key differences between the presidential candidates’ proposed education policies and how Project 2025 could impact America’s schools. They then turn to New Orleans, where it’s been nearly two decades since Hurricane Katrina forced a full reinvention of the city’s schools. Ravi and Beth explore the lessons learned over the past 20 years and explain why the future of education policy could hinge on perceptions of New Orleans’ educational progress.
