Chronicle of Higher Education : Although Bill Gates never finished college, he apparently values higher education. One of the goals of his philanthropic organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is to expand educational opportunities in the US, particularly at the university level. In the Q&A, Gates advocates fundamental reforms such as improving teaching methods and fixing inefficiencies in the current education model rather than simply investing in more gadgets and technology. In that respect, he allies himself with many of those in the teaching profession, as discussed in the 27 June News Pick on math education in secondary schools.
