As the presidential campaign continues to blaze as the two major candidates try to win more voters into their fold. One of the burning issues, and could also be their make or break, is education. Here is an overview on what Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton thinks about the five most important issues concerning education: school choice, student loans and debt, common core, early childhood education, and teachers pay.

With regards to school choice, Trump has been consistent in his support for school choice where parents and students can have the freedom to select the school they have. Clinton, on the other hand, voiced her support for charter schools where schools are funded by the government but governed by an independent body rather than by the local public education system.

Moreover, Trump has continuously criticized the federal government for making a profit from the student loan programs. He promised to create jobs but he hasn't provided any concrete plans yet how to solve it. For her part, Clinton proposes a college free education for families whose income are less than $125,000 a year. He further proposes that all community colleges should be free and that a three-month moratorium should be in place to help students with existing debts refinance and restructure their monthly payments to reduce it.

As for the issue on Common Core, the Clinton camp does not really focus on it but her opponent spoke passinately against it. Trump promises to wipe out the Common Core if elected president. On the contrary, Clinton laments about the Common Core being an "unfortunate argument."

Where Trump lambasted Common Core, he was mum about what he will do concerning early education childhood. Clinton has a plan, although she did not discuss how she's going to do it, what she wants to do for America's next generation. She said that she will make pre-school available for all 4-year olds by putting in more cash to states.

Finally, on the issue of teacher's pay, Trump supports merit pay that benefits performing teachers and wants to end teacher tenure that supports bad or low-performing teacher. Clinton, for her part, said she would start a national campaign to elevate teaching and provide better pay as well as training and support to educators across the nation. She also proposed to refinance student debts to new teachers and forgive any outstanding debts after 10 years.
