Education

Every student deserves the opportunity to receive a high-quality public education, from Pre-K all the way through college. The recent pandemic has only highlighted the current inequities, from unequal broadband access to poor extracurricular opportunities, that keep many students from reaching their full potential. 

Recognizing the importance of these issues, Nabeela helped elect strong leaders to the District 211 school board to listen to the concerns of students and families and to lead the way forward. As a former student of the Illinois public school system, Nabeela recognizes firsthand the importance of a solid academic and extracurricular foundation, and she will work towards making education affordable and accessible for all Illinoisians.

As State Representative, Nabeela will...

  • Keep our students safe from bullying and sexual harassment by strengthening state-level policies

  • Prioritize students’ mental health needs by providing funding for in-school counselors

  • Advocate for state-wide broadband funding to decrease the digital divide

  • Increase affordability and accessibility for in-state higher education

  • Expand state higher education loan forgiveness programs for those in high-demand fields, such as teaching and nursing

  • Advocate for expanded Pre-K and early childhood education in our state
