You are the social policy director for a presidential candidate who will be taking part in a nationally televised debate about education policy. Your job is to write an opening statement that describes the candidate's approach to solving a major issue in education: the rising cost of college.
You should write our statement as a three- to four-paragraph essay. Remember, you have conducted research about education policy and the rising costs of higher education.
Your opening statement should engage the audience, summarize your findings, and provide a clear policy approach.
