PEER DISCUSSION: EDUCATION

Patrick R. Gaston, President, Verizon Foundation
Gabriella E. Morris, President, Prudential Foundation

Key Takeaways:
  • Collaborating between companies, policy makers, school systems, and administrators can allow for broad sharing of information as well as exchange of practical tools and solutions to tackle widespread education problems.

  • Beginning an education program locally and then scaling out regionally, nationally, or internationally is an effective means of adapting programs to the needs of the wider communities the company is trying to serve.

  • Choosing an area to concentrate the company's education funding - whether that is K-12 education, teacher training, working with disabled students, science and technology curricula, etc. - helps to focus the company's approach and achieve the greatest impact.
