Colin Powell addresses poverty and education during visit to Urban Ventures
On June 23, Gen. Colin Powell visited Urban Ventures to talk to supporters and area CEOs about poverty and education. “Half of the country’s dropouts can be traced to just 2,000 high schools,” says Powell. “That’s 12 percent of all schools. We believe that by focusing attention on the communities surrounding these schools, and by looking closer at known dropout indicators like reading and math scores and absentee and truancy rates, we can have real impact.”
Gen. Powell praised the efforts of Urban Ventures and challenged his audience to have a hand in the educational success of America’s children through financial support and volunteer involvement. “We believe the nation is ready for action,” says Powell. “We know Americans want to do the hard work to save our kids, schools, communities and our country.”
