In her first visit to Illinois since moving into the White House, Jill Biden stressed the importance of community colleges to the nation’s economy.
The first lady made remarks Monday at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon.
“What starts in one community college classroom, can create a chain effect that is eventually felt by every single American,” Biden said.
Biden was joined by U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, who said the pandemic has been especially tough on the country’s community colleges.
“We acknowledge that the pandemic has had a significant impact on community colleges,” Cardona said. “There was over a 10% decline in community college enrollment this year.”
