How about instead of adding code academies to the student loan gravy train, they try something a bit innovative?
How about they pick a hundred community colleges and provide money for a competitive salary and housing costs for a number of STEM faculty members for about 3 years. That should generate enough data to figure out effectiveness.
I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of buying 3 small kit homes, placing them on the school grounds, and then hiring 3 new PhDs on a 3 year contract so they can get teaching experience, then cycling in a new set of PhDs. They probably won't be STEM, but you have to start somewhere.

- protomyth 10y agoYeah, we'll skip that as I would want them to blend with the rest and I'm pretty sure it needs to look a bit more permanent to convince people to live in them for 3 years.
