Home - Conservative Leaders For Education Redefining the Conservative Approach to Education A New Vision for the Future For decades the conservative stance on education has largely centered around a few core principles favoring school choice limiting federal intervention and supporting free speech on college campuses. Although these ideas appeal to many voters they do not clearly show how modern societys education system should work. This has put the conservatives on the back foot mainly responding to the initiatives of the left including pushing for more government intervention and more funding to conventional schooling systems. Thus conservative concepts in education may seem quite narrow especially in terms of positive solutions to such issues as educational segregation the lack of curricula development and bureaucracy.
