"Geography is Fundamental" Act in U.S. Senate to Provide Funds for Geographic Education

By , About.com GuideJuly 18, 2005

Follow me on:

Senators have introduced a bill, the "Teaching Geography is Fundamental" Act (S. 1376), that would provide funding for teacher training to expand geographic literacy among K-12 students. The bill authorizes $15 million in federal grant funding per year for five years to a nonprofit educational organization to improve the quality of student understanding of geography through effective teaching in classrooms. I can't link to the bill but you can find it on THOMAS by searching for "1376."
