Connected kids deserve connected schools - and Mark Zuckerberg is determined to make that access a reality.
The Facebook cofounder announced on Thursday that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, will give $20 million to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighway , which helps bring high-speed Internet to public school systems.
"In schools, Internet is critical for enabling something we know leads to better results: personalized learning," Zuckerberg wrote in his Facebook post announcing the donation.
In his announcement, Zuckerberg stresses that personalized learning software is essential to student success, describing this customized learning as giving students the material they are interested in at their own pace and in a style tailored to them.
