Education
The Utah Shakespeare Festival has many educational programs, from Summer and Fall Classes to a school tour. A Shakespeare competition takes place each October, with schools from across the United States participating. The Shakespeare for Jr. Actors program, for ages 11 to 15, gives students an opportunity to learn about the plays of the season and see them all. At the end of the session, students perform scenes from the three Shakespeare plays.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
