Abstract | Georgia's business leadership is concerned about that state's public education system which has consistently ranked near the bottom of the educational ladder. In 1986, the Quality Basic Education (QBE) Act became law, and its provisions are described in this document. The Georgia Alliance for Public Education (the Alliance) was mobilized to sustain involvement from the private sector in QBE. The alliance attempts to build a coalition of business leaders who work for improvement in all aspects of primary and secondary public education. Goals include increased prestige for the teaching profession and for public education in general as well as enhanced curricula. Programs include a statewide literary magazine and small grants to classroom teachers. The structure of the board of trustees of the Alliance and business support are detailed. A one-day conference with business leaders and educators is reviewed. Issues beyond the conference include the Alliance's future, its funding, and a concise definition of its mission. Information on the Institute for Educational Leadership is appended. (RR) |
