Learn To Be Foundation

Learn To Be attended Zócalo Public Square's "Closing California's Education Gap" lecture on June 3 to discuss how a state that once was a leader in providing quality education has now fallen significantly behind in producing college-going students and graduates.

If current education troubles are not addressed, the California economy could face a shortage of one million college graduates by 2025, according to a recent study by the Public Policy Institute of California. One reason for this shortage is the decline of California's elementary and secondary public education systems, which face severe proficiency gaps and continue to struggle for funding.

Learn To Be strives to meet with education leaders in discussing ways to improve educational opportunities for students.
