H. Collins firmly believes that for Americans to achieve their full
economic potential, they must have access to a quality education.
To that end, Collins has formed two innovative, education-related
programs as part of The
Today Foundation which he oversees.
The Children's
Education Fund works to ensure economically disadvantaged kids can obtain a sterling education nevertheless. It does this by:
- providing
scholarships that allow parents to send their kids to the private
school of their choice
- encouraging
the creation of high-quality charter schools
Meanwhile,
the foundation's EdTech
program enhances the reading skills of children throughout
America and:
- continually
assesses student performance
- adapts
its curriculum to individual learning needs
- helps
teachers be accountable for their students' performance
- provides
an ongoing analysis of student performance
"Quality
education has been the cornerstone of every great society in history,"
Collins says. "Through these programs, we are striving to
ensure the next generation of Americans will possess the skills
necessary to effectively compete in the global marketplace."
