Foreign Policy and Science Education Thomas Friedman weighs in on the palpable erosion of interest in the engineering and mathematics fields amongst American students and its expected implications in the next twenty years, If President Bush is looking for a legacy, I have just the one for him - a national science project that would be our generation's moon shot: a crash science initiative for alternative energy and conservation to make America energy-independent in 10 years. Imagine if every American kid, in every school, were galvanized around such a vision. Ah, you say, nice idea, Friedman, but what does it have to do with your subject - foreign policy? |
