Public Schools

AIM addresses K-12 education reform issues in partnership with the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education (MBAE). For more than two decades, MBAE has been the voice of business on education policy, highlighting the important role of K-12 education in preparing students to become tomorrow’s workforce. AIM’s focus continues to be increased funding for high school career pathways and industry-recognized credentials to prepare students for college and career success, and targeted funding to increase students’ educational opportunity across the Commonwealth while eliminating demonstrated achievement gaps.

“As the top public university in the state for student outcomes, UMass Lowell is proud to educate and prepare the next generation of workers across multiple industries,” said Chancellor Julie Chen.“ I am especially honored the university’s efforts are being recognized with the 2024 AIM Gould Award. Our faculty experts and researchers are dedicated to making progress that improves the quality of life and advances our understanding of the universe.”
