The Obama administration has pledged an unprecedented amount of money -- upwards of $100 billion -- toward transforming the education sector in an effort to meet the demands of the knowledge economy. National Journal LIVE hosted a panel discussion to take stock of the administration's key education initiatives, along with state-led efforts, and to examine how the weakened economy may be affecting such programs. Panelists also discussed Race to the Top, reauthorization of No Child Left Behind and Common Core, among other topics.

Incredible!, this was top-notch quality article. Theoretically I'd like to publish this way too - taking time and genuine effort to make a smart written piece... although what can I say... I delay doing things loads rather than seem to get something succesfully done

The state of education to me is the internet. Why pay a ton of money for college and spend 4-5 years (and get in debt) when you can get a basic education online? There are some emergency management degrees online that people can earn for a fraction of the time and cost. Wake up, people!
