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:
“The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
