Margie Gillis of Literacy How Inc. argues, in a March 18 Connecticut Mirror piece, that “early education is critical to closing the achievement gap.”

Margie Gillis spoke at a fall 2009 forum, held at the Literacy Resource Center in New Haven.

Paul Krugman, an economist himself, referred to the work of other economists in a New York Times column last week about education, technology, and employment.  Related is The Race between Education and Technology, a 2008 book by economists Claudia Goldin and Lawrence Katz.

The Race between Education and Technology was among the works cited in a February 28 account of a February 16 Literacy Forum.
