独家报道： 全美民主党都在批评红州的教育计划，而阿肯色州共和党州长萨拉·哈克比·桑德斯正在吹捧本州取得的一项重大成就，她希望这能成为全美所有州的教育样板，无论其政治倾向如何。
“最让我们兴奋的是，如今阿肯色州的许多学生都比《LEARNS法案》出台前表现得更好，”桑德斯在其办公室宣布教育领域“重大突破”当天接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时说道。此次教育改革是2023年由共和党支持的全州范围教育全面改革，即《LEARNS法案》。
该法案还将教师最低工资从3.6万美元提高到5万美元，设立了基于绩效的教师奖金，加强了读写能力支持，为学校安全举措提供资金，并禁止教授批判性种族理论以及与批判性种族理论、性别认同、性取向和色情内容相关的课堂内容。
阿肯色州公立学校学生在新的全州考试中成绩显著提升，在该州保守派教育改革实施仅三年时间里，所有年级和科目的合格率均上升了7%以上。根据州长办公室的数据，自2024年以来，学生合格率上升了7%以上，自2025年以来上升了5%以上。

“我们希望孩子们能取得好成绩，”桑德斯说。“我们很高兴阿肯色州的孩子们正在学习、正在进步。我们看到孩子们取得的成长和成就，正是我们期望看到的。”
2026年，42.2%的学生达到了合格标准，高于2025年的36.9%。数学合格率从2024年的36.4%升至2026年的44.2%，科学合格率从35.6%升至44.0%，英语语言艺术合格率从33.8%升至39.5%。
所有科目中成绩最差的学生比例也有所下降，从2025年的平均27.3%降至2026年的23.1%。三年级学生的阅读成绩也有所改善，合格率从2024年的36%升至2026年的43%。
在该州教育改革下首批接受教育的幼儿园至二年级学生，几乎在所有科目和年级的合格率都超过了50%，并保持着上升势头。
桑德斯表示，转型改革得益于更好的教学和对学生需求的统一关注，并称“全面协调的方法”发挥了作用。
“不是某一项举措，而是我们真正改变教育方式的整体过程，”桑德斯说。“要认识到，只要提供合适的环境和工具，每个孩子都能学习，并且绝不能让失败成为选项。”

近年来，包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和知名教师工会官员在内的民主党人都在抨击红州的教育政策，但桑德斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她希望该教育计划能向全国传递一个信号。
“我绝对希望红州能将我们在这里的做法作为样板，但我也希望蓝州能看看阿肯色州、密西西比州等地取得的成功，并效仿，因为我们希望所有孩子都能取得好成绩，”桑德斯说。
“看到孩子们取得成就、变得更好、获得成功，这不是红州或蓝州的问题，而是每个人都应该关心的事。”

桑德斯表示，这些结果“证明了什么方法有效”，并补充道，没有必要“重新发明轮子”。
“我们知道，提高标准、为学生、教师和学区总监提供资源和支持会带来改变，”桑德斯说。“我们这里有一套行之有效的方案，我绝对希望它不仅能改变对话，更能改变整个体系、改变教育文化。”
阿肯色州教育部秘书雅各布·奥利瓦在一份新闻稿中表示：“《LEARNS法案》是改善教育的大胆、创新且全面的方案。它基于研究、紧迫感和变革的迫切需求。这些分数证明，倾听教师、管理员和家长的意见不仅宝贵，而且至关重要。该计划正在奏效。阿肯色州的学生正在阅读、学习并从中受益。”

EXCLUSIVE:As Democrats across the country criticize education programs in red states, Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is touting a major achievement in her state she hopes will serve as an education blueprint for all states, regardless of politics, nationwide.
“The thing we’re most excited about is the fact that so many Arkansas students are doing better now than they would have been doing pre-LEARNS legislation,” Sanders told Fox News Digital on the day her office announced a “major breakthrough” on education following implementation of a 2023 Republican backed statewide education overhaul, known as the LEARNS Act.
The law also raised the minimum teacher salary from $36,000 to $50,000, created performance-based teacher bonuses, boosted literacy support, funded school safety initiatives, and banned critical race theory and classroom teachings related to critical race theory, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexually explicit materials.
Arkansas public school students are seeing sharp gains on a new statewide exam, with proficiency rates rising more than 7% across all grades and subjects in just three years under the state’s conservative education reforms. Since 2024, student proficiency has increased by more than 7% and by more than 5% since 2025, according to the governor’s office.

“We want our kids to do well,” Sanders said. “We love the fact that kids in Arkansas are learning, that they’re moving up. The growth and achievement that we’re seeing from our kids is exactly what we want to happen.”
In 2026, 42.2% of students met proficiency standards, up from 36.9% in 2025. Mathematics proficiency increased from 36.4% in 2024 to 44.2% in 2026, science proficiency rose from 35.6% to 44.0%, and English language arts proficiency climbed from 33.8% to 39.5%.
Students performing at the lowest levels also fell across all subjects, dropping from an average of 27.3% in 2025 to 23.1% in 2026. Reading performance among third-graders improved as well, with proficiency rising from 36% in 2024 to 43% in 2026.
Students in kindergarten through second grade, the first to learn under the state’s education reforms, exceeded 50% proficiency in nearly every subject and grade level, while maintaining upward momentum.
Sanders said transformational reform is driven by better teaching and a unified focus on student needs, saying “a comprehensive aligned approach” makes a difference.
“Not any one thing, but it’s the collective process of really transforming the way that we approach education,” Sanders said. “Realizing that every single kid can learn when given the right environment, when given the right tools, and letting failure not be an option.”

Democrats in recent years, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and prominent teachers’ union officials, have targeted red-state education policies, but Sanders told Fox News Digital she hopes the education program sends a message across the country.
“I’m hopeful absolutely that red states will use what we’re doing here as a blueprint, but I also hope that blue states will look at the success that you’re seeing in places like Arkansas, Mississippi and others and try to follow suit because we want all kids to do well,” Sanders said.
“Seeing kids achieve and do better and be successful, that’s not a red state or blue state issue. That’s something everybody should care about.”

Sanders said the results are “showing what works,” adding there is no need to “reinvent the wheel.”
“We know that raising the bar, providing those resources and support for our students, for our teachers, for our superintendents makes a difference,” Sanders said. “We’ve got a recipe here that’s working and absolutely hope it not only changes the conversation but frankly changes the system, changes the culture and education.”

“The LEARNS Act was a bold, innovative, and comprehensive approach to improve education,” Jacob Oliva, secretary of the Arkansas Department of Education, said in a press release. “It was built on research, urgency, and the desperate need for change. These scores prove that listening to teachers, administrators, and parents wasn’t just valuable but also essential. The plan is working. Arkansas students are reading, learning, and benefitting.”
