		This is why we must move from the reform of a few schools and the reform efforts of a few states to an entirely different scale, to include the reform of all schools for every student.
		In San Antonio, Texas, Madeleine Kunin, the Deputy Secretary of Education, has seen firsthand the coming together of the Chamber of Commerce, the University of Texas, the United Way, a major insurance company, and city and county officials -- all citizens doing their part to create early childhood family centers in every neighborhood.
		I urge education leaders to look beyond the role of parents as volunteers and fundraisers; to actively incorporate, as so many schools are now doing, parents and other adults into the process of learning.

		The development of the policy and funding framework for higher education has been guided by the need to balance the contributions made by individuals who benefit from higher learning; by government in the pursuit of social justice and meaningful social inclusion; and by business and commerce in their interaction with the sector.
