These centers are aimed at fortifying student mental health, safety, and academic opportunities, both during and after school hours
The United States Department of Education in the United States of America recently published a press release in which they divulged the development of a network of technical assistance centers that are slated to open their doors on October 6, 2023. The United States Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, is credited with the following statement: "To Raise the Bar in education, we must equip schools and districts with strategies backed by decades of experience and research to support students' wellbeing and drive academic success."
The topic of discussion in this press release is the grant in the amount of $760,619 that was given to the Comprehensive Literacy State Development Center with the intention of assisting state educational agencies in the enhancement of their State Literacy Plans and ensuring that all children have equal access to literacy teaching. In addition, the National Technical Assistance Center for 21st Century Community Learning Centers has been provided with a total of $18.3 million in order to support the promotion of educational opportunities that take place in settings other than traditional schools.
These possibilities will put an emphasis not just on student engagement and financial literacy but also on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Student Support and Academic Enrichment Technical Assistance Center will receive $5.6 million in order to help expand educational capacities in local towns and states, including the ethical application of technology.
The opening of these new facilities exemplifies the Department of Education's decision to elevating educational standards and meeting the significant expectations of today's students. This commitment is especially important in light of the challenges that have arisen as a result of the current COVID-19 epidemic.
