Secretary of Education Arne Duncan doubled down July 17 on the need for new federal revenue to fund a dramatic expansion of early education in this country, calling on federal lawmakers to take the “long view” in supporting one of the White House’s signature initiatives.

Duncan touted president Barack Obama’s preschool-for-all proposal, which asks for $75 billion in spending over 10 years to enroll millions of students in early education programs, while also stressing that the nation’s capital should “get past its dysfunction and work together in this area.”
