NSF commits $240 million to improve math and science instruction
The U.S. Department of Education will help fund the effort, which encourages K-12 school districts to team up with universities, research labs, and other organizations to address a number of shortcomings—including a lack of teachers with strong content knowledge in math and science, a shortage of students enrolled in advanced math and science courses, and a lack of challenging curricula and available content in schools across the country.
