I'm a big believer in education, period.

And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.

I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more.

The Republicans have chosen to neglect young Americans who need assistance with the costs of higher education.

If you take any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education, the roadblock is the laptop.

Pell Grants are, and have been, critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students.

My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.

Enhancing revenues will help us improve education and solve our infrastructure problems.
