Investigating Education

A lot of focus has been put on providing a higher education and is becoming even more of an issue due to current political campaigning. The U.S. Department of Education has a great website that features many articles and laws that play into the education system. The website also features budgets and the federal role our government plays in education as well.

A good website I found that has a lot of articles and information on student loans and debt consolidation is on About.com is their Business School section. It has many articles that involve such things as student loan interest rates and top companies and grant resources that many students depend on to get through schooling. This information could be useful for finding out which companies are really helping students and which are hurting, for example

IRE.com has a great section of its website dedicated to investigative education articles that features many stories that could help you get started.

The National Center for Education website features a ton of statistics, tables and figures that can be used in finding a story as well.
