This is Corey Turner, covers education for NPR.
Every time I run into Corey at the NPR coffee machine, he will tell me something about some new thing happening in education.
And then months later, the thing has exploded into a front page story.
And that is why I listened to Corey recently when he told me to go check out Secretary McMahon's tuition fighting plan.
So that plan basically is starting July 1st, if you want to get a graduate degree in most fields, the Department of Education, the biggest lender for student loans, is saying that they're only going to give you about $21,000 a year.
That is the cap.
If your tuition costs more than that, well, sorry, the Ed Department is not lending extra to cover it.
Hello and welcome to Planet Money.
I'm Kenny Malone.
And I'm Corey Turner.
And Corey, I believe you have now called basically anyone who has had a hand in trying to study whether or not this proposal stands a chance to work.
That's right.
Today on the show, Corey tells us what he's found and tells us the roots of this less money, less tuition problems.
Is that what they're calling it?
Lower loans, lower prices?
I don't know.
It might need workshops.
Whatever the name of this is, the roots of this particular solution.
So we're going to bring college prices down.
That's what we're about to do today?
