Education-related grants make up about one-third of our giving. Globally, we have committed almost $250 million to improve student performance and increase access to education so that all children have the opportunity to achieve their dreams.
In the USA we are working to close the achievement gap by supporting programs to improve large urban school districts in cities nationwide. We strongly emphasize the use of performance management as a leadership culture and data system to measure and share progress indicators, so that early attention can redirect lagging students toward success.
We also seek to strengthen school leadership, develop innovation in effective education models through charter schools, and encourage determined low-income students to higher learning through our scholarship program.
Internationally, our education grants focus on increasing access to primary education and improving basic literacy skills for children in India.
