“The Role of Entrepreneurship and Public/Private Partnership in Education”
In our increasingly complex global economy, education plays a substantial role in determining access to sustainable career opportunities. Unfortunately, the availability of effective education outcomes in the U.S. ranges widely based on geography, socio-economic status, and a host of other factors. The disparity in opportunity has led many in the education community to re-think traditional models and to seek out new solutions for the future. Consequently, there is a growing need for entrepreneurs and for private sector partnerships with public schools to create the dramatic changes that underserved students need to be successful.
