BOSTON, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler delivered the Massachusetts 2026 State of Education Address on Thursday.
Secretary Tutwiler highlighted the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s investments in early and higher education, the K-12 Statewide Graduation Council’s recommendation for graduation requirements, and the priorities for the year ahead.
He touched on state funding; “Governor Healey’s House 2 budget proposal recommended nearly $1.9 billion for early education and care—an extraordinary investment that builds on our previous commitments.”
And also shared that the graduation requirements would be centered on three principles, “learning experiences, mastery, and preparedness for what’s next.”
