An accurate representation of Mark Zuckerberg

Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, some previously underfunded schools can now access online learning features faster and with more ease. He donated $20 million dollars to Education Super Highway, a non-profit organization that helps schools in America gain access to high speed internet for learning purposes. The Facebook CEO stated, “Most schools in the US are connected, but less than half have high-speed broadband. This means most students can’t use personalized learning software that helps them learn about content they’re interested in, at their own pace and in a style customized to them.”

This isn’t the first time Zuckerberg has donated funding to educational organizations. Five years ago, he gave $100 million to the public school system in Newark, New Jersey, and last year he donated $120 million to Bay Area schools. Perhaps with more generous figures like Mark Zuckerberg, many classrooms will be brought “up to speed” with an increasingly modern world.
