Great letter in today's PD!

Hi, Jon,

I really appreciated your letter to the editor about global education that appeared in this morning’s Press Democrat.  Bipartisan, sensible & positive.  Great tone.  Well done.  (And global education will help the world address climate change, too.)

Global education

EDITOR: Kids are back in school again, and hundreds of nervous students now have their first couple of weeks under their belts. They’ve met their trained teachers, received instructional materials and are learning in welcoming, updated school buildings.

But for millions of children and youth around the world, that first day of school is only a dream. A staggering 263 million children and youth are out of school globally. It doesn’t have to be this way.

With U.S. support, the Global Partnership for Education has played a major role in getting tens of millions of kids a quality education globally. But the program will need the continued support of Congress to continue progress.

I hope we can count on our representative to co-sponsor the bipartisan Global Partnership for Education resolution, House Res. 466, to ensure that more kids access the possibilities created by going to school.
