Andrew Cuomo recently unveiled a 25-point education plan that minimizes his previous endorsement of charter schools, indicating a strategic shift to win support from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) as he campaigns for mayor. Historically, Cuomo has been critical of the teachers unions, leading initiatives for charter schools and teacher evaluations. However, as his political aspirations resurface, he is now distancing himself from these stances to avoid alienating the very union that may impact his comeback. The plan reflects a strategic compromise aimed at broadening his political allyship.
