DERRY, N.H. (NEXSTAR) — As former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley continues her campaign tour in New Hampshire ahead of primary day, she is earning praise from parents and students for her focused stance on education. Hosting events across the state, including diners, sporting events, and small businesses, Haley has made the American education system a central point of engagement with potential voters.
One concerned parent, Eddie Smith from New Hampshire, highlighted the significance of the education issue. “It’s a really big issue for me. I think that our education system has declined dramatically since I went to school,” said Smith.
At a recent campaign event held at Gilbert H. Hood Middle School, Nikki Haley reiterated her education policy, leaving a lasting impression on voters like Deborah Bailin. “I think it’s important for parents to understand what it is that their children are being taught and to have access to the curriculum,” added Bailin.
Nikki Haley Proposes Giving Students The Freedom
Haley’s education policy places a strong emphasis on transparency in the classroom, aiming to empower parents with a more significant role in their child’s education. Advocating for school choice, Nikki Haley proposes giving students the freedom to attend the school of their choice without incurring additional costs, thanks to a voucher system.
Another key aspect of Haley’s education vision is promoting assignments that allow students the freedom to express their opinions, deviating from the traditional approach of conforming to given prompts. High school student Elias Smith shared his experience, stating, “There are assignments where they say, ‘this is true’ when I don’t think that it’s necessarily as black and white as that.”
Haley’s commitment to prioritizing foundational skills is evident in her push to bring education back to basics, focusing on essentials such as reading, writing, and math. The policy aims to address concerns about the perceived decline in the quality of education over the years.
