CEOs Tell Governors to Ramp Up EducationAmerica's education system is not turning out enough skilled workers to keep the nation competitive in the fast-paced world of today's global economy, according to AT&T's Chief Executive Randall Stephenson and Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The heads of two of the largest corporations in the U.S. last week asked the members of the National Governors Association to consider more daring ways to improve education in their individual states. "They're graduating the same number of engineers in India that we are in the U.S., and their economy is 7 percent the size," Stephenson said. "In my opinion, our education system has fallen flat. We've gotten fat and lazy."
