New Technologies was made up by education. Nowadays the other ways in teaching the people is by using computers, Internet through weblogs. One of the key ingredients to the success of a modern nation is education. America has recently had a presidential election, and education is a key issue. President-elect Barack Obama already has some ideas. According to this article, he wants to take a good look at the No Child Left Behind act. He doesn’t want to get rid of it altogether, but he does want reform, especially when it comes to the subject of standardized testing, and he is against having students “fill in bubbles” every year, and preparing them to only do so. Both he and Vice president-elect Joe Biden are both supporters of charter schools, provided they perform adequately. Teachers at private and charter schools will be in line for incentives such as the Teacher Service Scholarships, and pay bonuses and increases to perform to standards. He also wants to boost Early Head Start programs and give tax credits (or as he calls it the “American Opportunity” credit) for college education and these things are all at the forefront of his education plan. Repairing faith in America’s schools, and therefore the credit repair of the American workforce, is something that is definitely desirable. Click to learn more about Credit Repair.

Glad to here of this program where the private sector is investing back into higher education in an effort to have schools help create better products.

I love to hear about new investments in technology for education. Hopefully we'll see more targeted investments now that Obama has been elected.

Hey I am a student right now and any investments in educational technology sounds good to me!

On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law. He offered this advice to parents:

"We know that every child can learn. Now is the time to ensure that every child does learn."

"As parents, you are your children's first teachers and their strongest advocates. You have a critical role to play - both in how you raise your children and in how you work for meaningful and accurate accountability in their schools."


"Too many children are segregated in schools without standards, shuffled from grade to grade . . . This is discrimination, pure and simple.

It is good that Microsoft has funds for education and I hope other Giant companies will follow their footstep to help children education especially in 3rd world countries.

Other giant companies should follow Microsoft foot step to gift funds to help children from poor family getting good education.

Glad to here of this program where the private sector is investing back into higher education!

That's is what large corporate sectors should do. Not just to focus on profit but to contribute back to community.
