WASHINGTON- On Wednesday, President Biden announced the American Family Plan, an investment in education, child care and paid family leave, according to the White House.
Biden will detail the proposal during a speech before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
The American Families Plan is part of the Biden administration’s larger economic recovery package, which also includes The American Jobs Plan.
According to the fact sheet published by the White House on Wednesday, the American Families Plan includes $1.8 trillion in investments and tax credits for American families and children over ten years. It consists of about $1 trillion in investments and $800 billion in tax cuts for American families and workers.
The American Families Plan calls for an additional four years of free, public education for children. President Biden is calling for $200 billion for free universal pre-school for all three- and four-year-olds and $109 billion for two years of free community college.
In addition, he is calling for an over $80 billion investment in Pell Grants, which would help students seeking a certificate or a two- or four-year degree.
The American Families Plan also includes $62 billion to invest in evidence-based strategies to strengthen completion and retention rates at community colleges and institutions that serve students from our most disadvantaged communities. This is alongside a $46 billion investment in HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs.
President Biden is also calling for $9 billion to train, equip and diversify American teachers.
