He highlighted the need for evidence-backed teaching methods and fostering a love for reading among students.
Governor Stein advocates for high-quality education for all students in North Carolina public schools. His focus includes improving educational outcomes from pre-K through higher education and preparing graduates with skills necessary for employment and contributing to the state.
