2026 Policy Agenda

Education occurs in many contexts beyond the traditional classroom — through apprenticeships, internships, community organizations, faith-based programs, and a wide range of enriching experiences that develop skills, character, and knowledge. Learn Everywhere policies create a formal pathway for students to earn academic credit for high-quality learning that takes place outside of school walls, ensuring that the full breadth of a student’s educational experience is recognized and valued. AFP Arkansas supports the expansion of Learn Everywhere frameworks to provide Arkansas students with greater flexibility in how they pursue their education and prepare for their futures.
