The Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a long-term savings plan to help people save for a child's education after high school, including trade schools, CEGEPs, colleges, universities, and apprenticeship programs. Regardless of the amount you can commit each month, your kids will thank you for it. #RESP #educationsavings #savingforthefuture #futuresaving #financialsavings #registerededucationsavingsplan #registerededucationsavingplan #educationsavingplan

In less than two years, Alabama has been on a relentless drive to transform education and set its students up for unparalleled success. Starting with widening college access in April 2021, they demonstrated a clear commitment to nurturing the potential of their youth. And they didn't stop there. By January 2022, Alabama rolled out an amendment to the Every Student Succeeds Act, ensuring that every child gets the support and resources tailored to their needs. This was about more than just curriculum; it was about ensuring holistic growth. But the most striking move? By November 2022, they'd put in place requirements ensuring every student is ready not just for college, but for careers too. That's right - by the class of 2026, students will graduate with a clear roadmap for their futures. And just when we thought they might take a breather, they've introduced quality checks on credentials and joined the prestigious NGA Policy Academy, all set to mold the future of youth apprenticeships. In short, Alabama isn't just reacting to educational needs; they're anticipating them. They're not just following best practices; they're setting them. For those keen on where education is headed and how states can revolutionize it – Alabama's the masterclass in progress. And it's time we all took notes.
