| You
hear plenty of lip service these days on how important education
is to the future of our country.
Well, in Northeastern Pennsylvania, when it comes
to making sure our children and adults have the education
and skills they need to succeed, we walk the talk and put
our money where our mouths are. In fact, you'll find that
expenditures per pupil in Pennsylvania are above the national
average, making us 9th in the nation.
Quality education is viewed as the backbone of
the Penn's Northeast region and its productive workforce.
Most local school districts offer advanced placement, gifted
programs and special eduation services. Our teachers, meanwhile,
are skilled, dedicated and loyal.
Besides top-notch elementary
and secondary schools, there are numerous
well-regarded universities, colleges and technical schools
that contribute to the quality of our educational resources.
From traditional disciplines to continuing
education and customized workforce development programs,
these institutions nurture our minds and spirits, prepare
our workforce, and contribute to the overall fiber of Northeastern
Pennsylvania's outstanding quality of life.
Education
There's no better insurance
policy for our future. Period.
