DELOITTE SURVEY ON ROLE BUSINESS CAN PLAY TO IMPROVE THE U.S. EDUCATION SYSTEM

While an overwhelming majority (81 percent) of academics and business executives believe the quality of the U.S. education system would improve if businesses took a more active role, the two audiences have opposing views on exactly how businesses can aid in the improvement process, according to the findings of the "Deloitte 2008 Business in Education" survey.

A mere 12 percent of educators think that businesses involvement in curricula development would definitely provide improvement, compared to 41 percent of business executives. Similarly only 14 percent of educators say businesses should definitely help set national standards, versus 42 percent of executives who say so.
