"Many companies, including Microsoft, face difficulties in hiring professional staff," he said. To look at the top American college computers and other High-tech science students, many are not born in the United States or from traditional American public schools, the U.S. public education does have problems. Without a fair and good education, America's advantages will be weakened. "China Entrepreneur Network" (http://www.thegatesnotes.com) recently, Microsoft founder, Forbes Rich Bill Gates in his personal website ("the") published an article, he starred in the film " Wait for Superman to explain the details.  Gates said the film highlights the need for public education reform in the United States, where many of the problems that exist in American public schools have seriously affected the US's talent advantage.  Gates pointed out that "recruitment difficulties" from companies such as Microsoft, to the top schools in the United States the "best students" from public schools, the lack of fair and quality education system caused by the negative impact of the United States abound. At the same time, Gates has refuted his own experience with the notion that "no reading can succeed". Gates says his success is inseparable from the good education he has received, and that only great education can create equal opportunities for wealth creation.  Gates said the reform of the American education system is imperative and will do its utmost to promote it.  The following is the full text content. Gates: Today, I appear in the TV program "Oprah" (Oprah Winfrey Show), talking about a very important new film, I think you should see. The film's name is "Waiting for Superman" (Waiting for Superman), which tells the unforgettable American public education system.  In fact, I think the movie is strong enough to influence or even change our awareness of education and hopefully solve a series of problems. There is no doubt that the quality of the American education system helps to make America strong.  But today, many public schools fail: In high school students, only 1/3 are ready to go to college, and more than half of non-white students drop out. For most families, it is a tragedy that the failure of local public colleges to make choices for their children when they are at school.  We need to make a big adjustment, but it's hard. Director Guggenheim (Davis Guggenheim) is very good at storytelling, the film's plot is quite compact. The Oscar-winning director introduced us to a couple of students to learn about them and their families, as well as their desire for a good education.  The Guggenheim is a great narrator who shows the story of these students in front of our eyes with a strong emotional approach.  At the same time, in the education system of the irregularities, the teacher's attitude and the lack of convincing textbook books and other issues, the Guggenheim also carried out a complex and critical decomposition. The film describes charter schools in a great deal of space--IKnow that this is only part of the solution to the ills of the educational system. The Foundation will provide support for quality chartered schools, such as those with innovative educational laboratories.  But the number of charter schools accounts for only 3% of American public schools, so we need a solution that can solve the problem comprehensively and systematically, which determines whether we can provide a good education. How to improve the quality of education? This requires us to first understand how to improve the overall quality of teachers, so as to effectively educate and guide students. This will be difficult to achieve and requires a lot of effort.  The foundation is working with a number of partners working to improve the level of teachers to work together in groundbreaking jobs. I am honored to have a little face in the film.  At the same time, I agree to be interviewed because I think the education reform in the United States is at a special time, and I hope to do everything I can to promote this change. My success has nothing to do with having a good education, my school is very good, I remember the teacher had encouraged me.  I'm lucky to have what every child should have. Many companies, including Microsoft, face difficulties in hiring professional staff.  Many of the majors, such as computers in America's top colleges, are not born in the United States or come from traditional American schools, showing that public education in the United States does have problems. The United States is a country that pursues equal opportunities, but without great education there can be no equal opportunity. Our country often says how good and how rich we are, but if there is no good education, this advantage will be weakened.
