Abstract	Educational revitalization is crucial for a nation facing a 20 percent functional illiteracy rate, as well as increasing foreign industrial challenges. Like America's auto manufacturers who returned to business basics and thus achieved a $10 billion reversal of fortunes in just 3 years, educators in a technical society must define their own basics--and business and industry must help. Ford Motor Company, for one, is directly involved in the education business. Jointly undertaken with the United Auto Workers, the landmark Employee Development and Training Program is not limited to Ford-related jobs, but, rather, helps persons individually, already enrolling them in over 4,400 education programs across the country. A new learning center in a Michigan plant even teaches literature and English as a second language. America needs re-educating, and, with business, should set its sights at outermost reaches. A school in space should not be inconceivable. Technological resources belong not just in homes as entertainment devices, but also in classrooms as opportunities for learning. Of American Samoa's four television channels, three are used full-time for educational purposes. Eleven hours of daily television instruction are now possible even for India's remotest villages, and France devotes 20 percent of network time to educational enrichment. American classrooms also must merge technology and the three R's, and the nation dedicate itself to lifelong learning. (KS)
