"Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who is using $100 billion in stimulus funds to overhaul public schools and expand access to college, urged U.S. businesses to play a “more active” role in the effort.
“You can invest in education, because it’s the best return on investment you will ever make,” Duncan said in prepared remarks for a speech today at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington. “You can help train administrators to run schools efficiently. You can give young people work experience -- both paid and unpaid.”"
