Get Schooled is a national program that connects, inspires and mobilizes people to work harder to increase high school and college graduation rates, improve postsecondary readiness and promote the fundamental importance of education.
With specific elements targeted at everyone from policy makers and corporate leaders to communities and kids, it’s an interlocking system of actions, including community initiatives, programming, corporate and philanthropic partnerships and an online portal.
It provides resources and information, community outreach and creative programming that engages the audiences who are affected by America’s ongoing educational crisis.
Developed in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the initiative pairs the foundation’s deep knowledge of education reform with the incredible reach and unmatched creativity of our brands and partners to bring a new level of awareness and engagement to this critical issue.
ABOUT US
Get Schooled needs sponsors and partners who appreciate the value of higher education and its accessibility to every student. Our primary goal is to raise awareness for the need to decrease dropout rates, improve standards for post-secondary readiness, and increase the number of qualified graduates entering the work force each year.
Get Schooled thanks the many sponsors who support our cause and actively participate in making education a priority. On behalf of millions, we appreciate your interest in the future of America.
Every 26 seconds a student drops out of high school. Every school day seven thousand students walk out on their education. One-third of all students fail to graduate high school. And most low-income students who start college never finish.
Get Schooled: You Have the Right explores the lessons learned by three young professionals who now work for three of the most recognizable people in the world. They all have rewarding careers. They all started with a complete education.
