Education Action!, a nonprofit organization founded by Jonathan Kozol, was intended to be a US national support structure aiming to help stem the flight of teachers from underfunded and racially segregated schools. Through Education Action, Kozol aims to mobilize teachers (along with parents, students, and other concerned citizens) into a movement of national proportions that will enable their voices to be heard in the public policy arena.
Education Action! is a resource for education activists who are looking to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations that are pursuing various education reform efforts.
Famous quotes containing the words education and/or action:
“To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
