Education Policy & Practice

Educate to Innovate

Today, President Obama unveiled his “Educate to Innovate” strategy.  This campaign is intended to drastically improve STEM education, particularly math and science education.  The goal: Move the United States to the top in science and math education in the next decade.

In his remarks, President Obama asserted that “we can’t allow division and indifference to imperil our position in the world.”  This sounds very much like the tune of Rev. Al Sharpton and Newt Gingrich, who recently pointed to the need to elevate education “above our differences.”
