Democrats for Education Reform

Democrats for Education Reform (DFER) is an organization within the Democratic Party that advocates for education policies emphasizing school choice, charter schools, and accountability. They believe competition can improve public education quality and support giving parents more options for their children's schooling. DFER promotes innovation, data-driven decision-making, and reforms aimed at increasing school effectiveness, especially in underserved communities. While they align with Democrats on many issues, their approach often reflects a more centrist or reform-oriented perspective on education policy, focusing on expanding options and accountability within the public school system.
