Miguel Cardona, President Joe Biden’s nominee to the Education Department, said he will prioritize cancelling student loan debt and offer tuition-free community college education once he is confirmed by the Senate.
Cardona, who was named Connecticut’s K-12 school chief last August, would be facing a number of issues on his first day as Education secretary, mainly fulfilling Biden’s campaign promises on higher education, which include making public colleges and universities tuition-free for all families with incomes below $125,000, and a broad cancellation of student loan debt.
