Ex-Intel CEO Barrett, Xerox CEO Burns Part of National Science Education Push:

"Former Intel CEO Craig Barrett and current Xerox CEO Ursula Burns are part of a group that will push forward the Obama administration’s effort to improve science and math education in the United States. In addition, the public-private partnership will look to grow an interest in the subjects among U.S. students. Group members said the effort is important to help keep the United States competitive in the global economy.


Craig Barrett, former chairman and CEO of Intel, has been vocal over the past few years about the need to improve the math and science education in the United States to ensure that the country continues to be competitive in the global economy."
