Education
A responsible, corporate entity, GE has been aligned with literacy and educational initiatives for 50 years. Through the Developing Futures in Education program,GE has committed nearly $150 million to six U.S. school districts across the country, including Atlanta, Ga.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Erie, Pa.; Jefferson County, Ky; Milwaukee, Wis.; New York City, N.Y.; and Stamford, Conn. With the goal of reducing disparity, GE Foundation also funds training and education programs in emerging markets.
Industry Considerations
The Developing Futures™ in Education program (which encompasses the GE College Bound Program) was created to raise student achievement through improved math and science curricula and management capacity at the schools.
School districts use their grants to develop a rigorous, system-wide math and science curriculum and provide comprehensive professional development for their teachers. Through more hands-on instruction, students learn from teachers and GE Volunteers as they work together on special mathematics and science projects involving real-world challenges.
