The Koret Task Force in K-12 Education is a task force of the Hoover Institution that focuses on K-12 education policy. Like the other task forces, it serves to provide information and advice on policy, using a "collective approach that focuses on the Institution's research agenda.”[1] The eleven members of the Koret Task Force promote vouchers, charter schools, and standardized testing. [2] They also serve as the editorial board of the Hoover Institution’s journal Education Next.[3]
