Sometimes we’ll publish “older” stuff as part of what we like to call “weekend catch-up reading”. This time it’s a Fortune Magazine interview with Joel I. Klen, New York City’s school chancellor and former CEO of Bertelsmann’s USA operations. He’s best know as the Dept. of Justice’s anti-trust czar that sued Microsoft, so it’s telling that Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has donated over US$150mm to the revolutionary efforts Mr. Klein is spearheading. This is more than just about Education and should appeal to anyone interested in improving public services, evidence-based management, dealing with unions, overcoming difficulties, etc. – so enjoy.
