Gates Foundation had a huge announcement today.  Share on Facebook and Twitter.

Community Colleges and States Selected to Boost College Graduation Rates by Improving Remedial Courses and Strategies

Today, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and MDC, Inc. announced $16.5 million in grants to 15 community colleges and five states to expand groundbreaking remedial education programs that experts say are key to dramatically boosting the college completion rates of low-income students and students of color.

A recent report from Jobs for the Future found that that nearly 60 percent of students enrolling in the nation’s community colleges must take remedial classes to build their basic academic skills. For low-income students and students of color, the figure topped 90 percent at some colleges. Remedial classes cost taxpayers more than $2 billion a year, money that is mostly wasted as few students even complete the classes, let alone continue on to graduate.

The grants announced today will fund the Developmental Education Initiative, which will build upon the most promising programs developed through Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count, a multi-year national initiative to boost graduation rates at community colleges, particularly among low-income students and students of color. The remedial education models developed by the 15 community colleges receiving these grants represent some of the most promising work in the country aimed at boosting college completion rates among struggling students.

I am happy to see that Stephen Colbert is such a huge supporter of education. Comedian Stephen Colbert, a board member of DonorsChoose.org, spoke with Students at Manhattan Bridges High School this week at an event announcing a $4.1 investment from the Gates Foundation. Here is a funny video clip from the DonorsChoose Event: Stephen Colbert On Getting Stuffed in a Locker

By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

It
pays to stay in the public eye, especially if you are Hillary Clinton.
President Obama's secretary of state, a controversial first lady who
went on to become an effective U.S. senator, tops our Whispers poll for
the most important first lady since the 1980s. By more than 2 to 1,
Clinton beat another headline-gathering first lady, Nancy Reagan, and
the two Bushes barely made a blip on the poll conducted March 9-11 by
Synovate eNation among 1,000 nationally representative households.
Barbara Bush, who recently underwent heart surgery, was last among the
four, but recall that she had only one term to prove herself, while the
others had two four-year presidential terms.
The Whispers Poll

Michelle
Obama's effort to revive the morale of the federal workforce with her
listening tour has renewed attention to the jobs and influence of first
ladies. Which of the most recent presidential wives do you think
affected the nation most?
Hillary Clinton 56%
Nancy Reagan 25%
Laura Bush 10%
Barbara Bush 9%

The Synovate eNation Internet poll was conducted March 9-11 among 1,000
nationally representative households by global market research firm
Synovate.
