WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (AScribe Newswire) -- Education leaders and practitioners will discuss the effect of federal education funding cuts on schools and college students -- and the steps President Bush and Congress need to take to increase the federal government's investment in our nation's future -- in a conference call to take place Thursday, Feb. 2.
These leaders will call on the president and Congress to reverse the downward trend in federal education funding and make increased investment in our education system a top priority.
When our students succeed, our nation succeeds.
WHO: Founded in 1969, the Committee for Education Funding (CEF) and its over 100 member organizations have worked toward the common goal of achieving adequate federal support for our nation's education system.
Nonpartisan and nonprofit, CEF is America's largest education coalition, reflecting the broad spectrum of the education community.
Local school children will not receive the services they need, and college students will be unable to afford a higher education if further cuts are approved.
We provide direct, immediate access to mainstream national media for 600 colleges, universities, medical centers, public-policy groups and other leading nonprofit organizations.
