The House of Rep. Proposal to Eliminate funding of EETT

Click here

The link above links to a story of a House proposal to eliminate funding for the Enhancing Education Though Technology Initiative. Republican Representative to California Duncan Hunter proposed legislation that would completely eliminated portions of the ESEA or Elementary or Secondary Education Act. Although it is good to cut needless spending, the cut to the EETT could actually jeopardize the American education system because it will severely hinder students who will need the technical knowledge to survive in our global economy. This will prove to be exceptionally problematic when students in low-SES schools currently are not getting the adequate technical training needed to obtain low-level jobs in our country.
