After reading Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads, I felt more relieved that the Doug Ducey and the Arizona government are doing more for education and helping people get into college or some sort of higher education. Compared to other states, Arizona is one of the lowest educated states in the country, so it's great to hear that the AZ government gave K-12 education $142 million in the state budget. The program "Achieve60AZ" is a goal that states that, according to Ducey, " By 2030, at least 60 percent of working age adults with a college degree or career training" (Ducey 3). He also stated the potential results if "Achieve60AZ" is attained, and the goals are pretty decent (Less poverty is something that should be a priority, so I agree with that goal). Ducey tells the state of Arizona that as a father, he wants his children to succeed in the future along with all of the children in Arizona, and I agree with that. When I have kids, I want them to be able to be able to get through school successfully and go to whatever secondary education that they want to go, whether it being university or a trade school. When I was in school, even though I was trying my best to get the best grades I could get, it seemed like people felt that school wasn't important and they would slack off. That and the fact schools here don't get a good budget for supplies made me feel that education wasn't prioritized, so I'm glad that there will be a change for the better.
