| * Building on its history and past programs in the field, Carnegie Corporation will dedicate a major part of its grant funds over the next few years to education reform, beginning with early childhood education and extending to higher education. The education program will focus on three key areas: Early Childhood Education, Urban School Reform, and Higher Education. Within the context of these key areas, the Corporation's Education Division will emphasize these goals: promoting the creation of high quality early learning opportunities on a large scale, accelerating urban school reform, strengthening the education of teachers, and stimulating an examination and strengthening of liberal arts education. |
