Cultivating Education Governors for the 21st Century

Gubernatorial leadership is critical to making systemic changes that result in improved student achievement. It is crucial that governors — and those running for governor — deepen their own knowledge of why education matters.

At every turn, the Hunt Institute works to shape effective leaders for education — whether bringing together the nation’s governors to help develop state-specific strategies, or assessing what it takes to be an education governor.

The result continues to be delivering effective services to governors across the country and building and expanding programs with lieutenant governors, state legislators in North Carolina, and state legislative leaders from around the country.
