LEF Research Papers

LEF believes making true advancement in education is through public policy therefore students will be provided with opportunities to write White Papers (policy papers) on topics related to their field of study and their community. These students will work with LEF staff to develop paper concepts. Once complete and approved by LEF staff, the papers will be published on LEF’s website. The idea is to create a mini-community think tank.
