Beyond the questions regarding the particular curricula of available programs, I believe we must also examine the relevant issues of access, method, delivery and consequence. The education of our children represents our best mechanism to ensure their and our future success, as they are our intellectual capital for tomorrow. We must continuously and diligently nurture future generations in order to provide them the opportunity to contribute to and prosper in the world of tomorrow. Therefore, today, we must develop consensus regarding our scholastic goals in order to provide a rigorous and exciting education for each student. We must instill in them the motivation and desire to obtain the fundamental skills and knowledge that will enable them to thrive as contributing members of our society.
Education is the cornerstone of a national resource, the intellectual capacity of our children.
We must continuously and diligently nurture future generations in order to provide them the opportunity to contribute and prosper in the technology-based world of tomorrow. I look forward to hearing the testimony of our distinguished panel as we continue examining this very important issue.
