Our New Education Special Report

摘要

As they prepare for their first debates this week, one point on which George W. Bush and Al Gore agree is that education is the critical issue for this new century. We'll succeed as a nation in this information age only if our schools and students succeed. That's why we at TIME have expanded our coverage with a new Education Special Report that will appear early in each month of the school year—a commitment of 54 extra news pages. At the same time, well keep bringing you our regular weekly coverage of education, including news and enterprising features. But our new special section allows us the time and space to probe deeper. We want to look at ideas that work, classroom heroes who are making a difference and assumptions that need to be explored. And we've given that assignment to a team of journalists who are steeped in the culture of teaching.
