Education

UNH's advocacy goals in education are:

• To secure resources to expand educational programs for adults, including General Equivalency Diploma, computer literacy and other vocational training classes.
• To work with a coalition of local advocacy organizations to fight for fiscal equity for New York City's educational system to ensure adequate resources and the opportunity for a sound basic education for all students.
