Apple CEO: Children deserve a 'great public education'

The Hill reports:

Apple CEO Tim Cook decried Monday how many American children “aren’t given a right for a great public education” while discussing the company’s efforts to put more technology in schools.

“I think technology has to be a key part, and so that’s why we’re here. I wouldn’t be where I am today without a great public education,” Cook said on "Good Morning America." “Too many times today, kids aren’t given a right for a great public education. And this isn’t right, it’s not fair."

The company is part of the White House’s ConnectED initiative, which aims to increase the proliferation of technology in public schools. Last year, it said it would donate $100 million in products to public schools through the program.
