Slideshow: Bill Gates on Opportunities in Education

In this audio slideshow, Bill Gates talks about what the foundation's past nine years of focus on education have taught him about creating a “culture of achievement” in schools.

"The goal is quite simple: Get kids a great education so they can go on to college and pursue a profession that—for both them and the country—will be very rewarding."
