The last thing that should happen is funding cut for education; it should be increased. We need to put more money towards education, and anything else is abusive.
This is not a skill problem, this is a will problem. Does America have the will to make education a priority? We know the things that work. Why don't we scale up those things that do work.
Education has become a condition of national survival.
Only a liberal senator from Massachusetts would say that a 49 percent increase in funding for education was not enough.
If the world's leaders are serious about improving collective well-being, we'd better get serious about prioritizing education in our nations and in our global discussion.
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
Once the federal dust settles, whether there is little to spend or a lot, education must continue to be our top priority. We can afford nothing less.
We need to save the education system. We need to remove education from the framework of the political parties that rule in the State of Israel. We need to increase the allocation of long-term national resources to education and never touch them - no matter what.
Surely in a country that works for everyone ensuring that everyone has access to an excellent education should be the first priority of any government?
