Is it possible to imagine a world without education? I think not. For as soon as we are old enough to comprehend knowledge without even appreciating that it is
happening.
A good education provides you with the tools to enjoy the fruits of a better lifestyle, to be able to converse with pears on aspects of science and technology
and to explore the unknown realms of 'what ifs' and 'maybe this be could be trues'.
The possibilities of developing the human brain and comprehending the wonder of life are as infinite as space itself. We have only just scratched the surface of
the wealth of immeasurable opportunities that learning and education affords. Without education our species would have withered and died. From the moment
our ancestor decided that cooked food tasted better and a wheel could gear him to travel we ventured out of the confines of the cave to explore and learn and
education our children in the wonders of living on this green earth.
We have a legacy to pass on to our descendants to keep pushing that wheel and the frontiers of science so that one day man can span the universe in the blink
of an eye and see the wonders of all that is.
Education is a building block of homo sapien's development as necessary as water to life and survival and our basic instinct to learn. It is therefore the
responsibility of each and every one of us to promote and help educate our children of tomorrow.

Duncan Hails Passage of President's Stimulus Package, Cites
"Historic Opportunity to Create Jobs and Advance Reform"
FOR RELEASE:
February 18, 2009 Contact: Press Office
(202) 401-1576
Education Secretary Arne Duncan today called the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) a "historic
opportunity to create jobs and advance education reform." He
credited the "leadership of the President and the Congress in
laying groundwork for a generation of education reform and
economic opportunity."
Duncan emphasized the urgency of distributing the funds to
states on an aggressive timetable in order to avert layoffs.
Citing a University of Washington study showing almost
600,000 education jobs at risk of state budget cuts, Duncan
said that his office will publish timelines and initial guidance
within a week so that states and districts can plan accordingly.
The ARRA provides more than $100 billion in education
funding and college grants and tuition tax credits, as well as
billions more for school modernization. It includes:
$40 billion in state stabilization funds to help avert education
cuts. Funds will be given to states in exchange for a
commitment to begin advancing education reforms. School
systems have discretion to use some of this money for school
modernization.
$13 billion for Title I, including $3 billion for Title I school
improvement programs.
$12 billion for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA) programs.
$5 billion in incentive grants to be distributed on a competitive
basis to states that most aggressively pursue higher standards,
quality assessments, robust data systems and teacher quality
initiatives. This includes $650 million to fund school systems
and non-profits with strong track records of improving student
achievement.
$5 billion for Early Childhood, including Head Start, early Head
Start, child care block grants, and programs for infants with
disabilities. (Includes Department of Health and Human
Services programs).
$2 billion for other education investments, including pay for
performance, data systems, teacher quality investments,
technology grants, vocational rehab, work study, and Impact
Aid.
College Affordability — $30.8 Billion:
$17 billion to close the shortfall in the Pell Grant program and
boost grant amounts by $500 to $5350 in the first year and more
in the second year, serving an estimated 7 million low and
moderate-income young people and adults.
$13.8 billion to boost the tuition tax credit from $1800 to $2500
for families earning up to $180,000.
Additional School Modernization — (up to) $33.6 Billion:
An additional $8.8 billion in state stabilization funds are
available for other state services including education. School
modernization is an eligible use of this funding.
Authority for states and school systems to issue $24.8 billion
dollars in bonds over the next 10 years for renovation, repairs
and school construction that will be retired through a
combination of local, state and federal dollars.
"These investments are the surest way to provide long-term
stability in to our economy," Duncan said. "With these funds,
we will educate our way to a stronger economy."
