I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.
— Sally Kirkland
My father's side of the family was very active in education.
— Sal Khan
As technology plays a major role inside and outside the classroom, we want to make sure education innovation is accessible.
Formal education must change. It needs to be brought into closer alignment with the world as it actually is, into closer harmony with the way human beings actually learn and thrive.
A one-size-fits-all lecture is not the way to go about education.
To be clear, people are the most important part of any classroom. If given the choice between a great teacher and the world's most advanced education technology, I'd pick the teacher any day for my own children.
It's an old idea. It's arguably the first way that people learn, that, hey, if you need to learn something, if you're having trouble with it, keep working on it until you master it and then you go to a more advanced concept. But in the education systems that all of us grew up in, we all learned at a fixed pace.
Even the best parents have to spend so much time making ends meet that they cannot help their kids with homework or afford the extra tutoring that wealthier students enjoy. To address these unjust disparities, we need an early education revolution.
— Sal Albanese
It is absolutely critical for competitiveness in the United States for us to really raise the bar in education, especially in math, in science, in technology.
— Safra A. Catz
Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.
— Ryan White
I loved growing up in Canada. It's a great place to grow up because - well, at least where I grew up - it's very multicultural. There's also good health care and a good education system.
— Ryan Gosling
Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.
— Rutherford B. Hayes
I had quite a scattered childhood. I was Irish in London, because I had my secondary school education there. I never really fitted anywhere. I didn't feel it was a negative thing, and I was never made to feel different - I just knew I was.
— Ruth Negga
Many institutions of higher learning will grant an 18- to 30-month deferral to prospective missionaries. This will enable you elders and sisters to serve without worrying about where you will begin your advanced education. We are very grateful to leaders of educational institutions who are making such planning possible!
— Russell M. Nelson
Because of our sacred regard for each human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility.
The left has total control over the public education system, all the way up to the university level. It's something they own, and it's going to have to change.
— Rush Limbaugh
In a world as competitive as ours, the child who does not get a decent education is condemned to the fringes of society. I think all Australians agree that this is intolerable. So we must demand as much of our schools as we do of our sports teams - and ensure that they keep the Australian dream alive for every child.
— Rupert Murdoch
Somehow, there is this feeling that women require remedial financial education, and so everything must be dumbed down. The reality is that we all need a lot more education, but guys just go ahead and invest anyway.
— Sallie Krawcheck
Education has helped me a lot.
We want to make access to a world-class education like clean drinking water or electricity.
Education has to be more than tests and formulas.
The whole reason why we have this kind of assembly line model of education that we inherited from the Prussians, is they were the first people - it's a very egalitarian motive - to say how do we educate everyone.
All too often, technology is treated as a silver bullet for perceived problems in education. This sometimes leads to knee-jerk investments, using scarce resources to invest in software or hardware without a clear notion of how either might actually empower learning.
What you have in most education software is that they're catering to the decision-maker who makes the budget allocations, and that decision-maker has a lot of check boxes. Does it do this? Check. Does it do that? Check. They could care less about the end user experience.
Any one who chooses will set up for a literary critic, though he cannot tell us where he went to school, or how much time was spent in his education, and knows nothing about letters at all.
— Saint Basil
Education is important even beyond the bounds of the opportunities it gives to the individual; it is a crucial and basic requirement for ensuring effective democracy and human rights.
— Sadiq Khan
We had great faith that with patience, understanding, and education, that my family and I could be helpful in changing their minds and attitudes around.
Before playing football, I didn't fit in anywhere. My parents didn't have a lot of money, which they spent on our education to send us to Catholic private school in Oakland, mostly black. The other kids had more money than I did. I started school early; I was young. So I'd come back to my hood and read.
— Ryan Coogler
Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.
I was the first tenured woman at Columbia. That was 1972; every law school was looking for its woman. Why? Because Stan Pottinger, who was then head of the office for civil rights of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, was enforcing the Nixon government contract program.
— Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Young men and women, your education is ever important - to us, to you, and to God.
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
— Russell Baker
Young people have this almost romantic attachment to civil rights, liberties, emancipating people from oppression, etc. The idea that such oppression exists in this country offends me, but it's able to be pushed and sold because education in this country is so woefully incompetent and inept.
You can't have a competitive, egalitarian meritocracy if only some of your citizens have the opportunity for a good education.
Education is not an end to itself. You need to know algebra but also how to navigate the world.
Education should be a fundamental human right.
I do believe that education should become as close to free as possible.
India, with one of the largest education systems in the world, has always been a priority for Khan Academy.
You have all this education theory, and people try to make larger statements than maybe what their data would back up, because they've done these small experiments that are tied to a very particular case with a very particular implementation... theory definitely matters, but I think dogma matters less.
We don't believe that you should ever replace physical education. Even in a thousand years, a computer will never be able to do so.
Our mission at Khan Academy is a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere, and college readiness is a crucial part of that. We want to help as many students as possible prepare for college and for life, and since the SAT measures preparedness for college, our partnership with the College Board is a natural fit.
The demographic of young people... in each hand is a phone, more powerful than a computer. It's a doorway to the digital nation, to education.
There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children.
— Sachin Tendulkar
Providing better computer science education in public schools to kids, and encouraging girls to participate, is the only way to rewrite stereotypes about tech and really break open the old-boys' club.
— Ryan Holmes
I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.
I am a central European with an English education and a deplorable tendency to constant self-analysis. I am irritable and have weak nerves.
— Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education.
— Russell Means
I believe that in the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.
I believe in local control of education.
— Russ Feingold
We're throwing money down a rat hole drain of public education! We lead the world in public education spending. We lead the world in getting the least for it.
