Where do the presidential candidates stand on Education issues?

In preparation for the election, the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has created Education and the 2008 Presidential Election—Where the Candidates Stand, a side-by-side comparison of key topics of the education plans of both candidates to make sure you know where they stand on key education issues.

NCLD's goal is to provide insight into the essential aspects of their education platforms and the priorities that will drive their education agenda as an administration.
