Education Law Center, 2023
New research finds that increased spending on public education improves student achievement, thereby debunking the notion that "money doesn't matter" and making the case for greater investment in preschool-12 public education.

Kelly, Matthew Gardner; Maselli, Annie – Journal of Education Human Resources, 2023

Lake, Robin; Jochim, Ashley – Center on Reinventing Public Education, 2017
The Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) designed the portfolio model based on the idea that we should move away from a "school system" to, instead, "a system of schools." In essence: school boards should focus on overseeing a "portfolio" of distinctive schools rather than directly running a set of…

Etzkowitz, Henry; Etzkowitz, Alex – Industry and Higher Education, 2015
Although innovation policy usually follows the business cycle, it is both desirable and possible to reverse this trend. Perhaps the most telling commentary on contemporary Europe is the silence that met the presentation, at the recent European Parliament Innovation Conference, of the Chinese R&D spending curve passing the European Union curve…
