While I agree that higher education deserves more support, I think it's important to remember that the better we prepare university students, the better they'll do. Early education, yes that begins with pre-natal, is the most effective time to begin the process of nurturing a joy of learning and a love of innovation and creativity. Here are some supporting articles. I hope Montana will increase support for all education, but especially early education - the earlier the better.
