Education Task Force

Task Force on Education

In his 1997 State of the Union Address, President Clinton stated that education was one of the Nation's priorities, and challenged Americans to "bring the power of the information age into all of our schools." Secretary of Energy Federico Peña accepted the President's challenge to improve the Nation's edcuational system, partly by asking the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board to form a Task Force on Education to investigate ways to make the Department's scientific, technical and supercomputing capabilities more available to our Nation's schools, colleges and universities, and to provide recommendations on how the Department can best enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in the United States.
