New long-term education data was released last week.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress is the only assessment that puts all 50 states on the same scale. Each state’s scores shape where federal resources go and help lawmakers understand what policies help children learn.

Recent BPC polling shows that 60% of caregivers report someone in their household missed work, cut hours, or changed jobs due to child care access problems—even those with affordable arrangements. Making child care work is essential for families, businesses, and the economy.
