Michiganders are our most important natural resource. Children playing with blocks today, will be the workers, designers, & engineers of tomorrow.” 

Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order No. 23-4: “Growing Michigan Together Council”

“If Michigan is to reverse its population trends and become a beacon for people around the country and the world, it must begin by creating a world-class education system. This will attract businesses and cutting-edge technology sectors, build civic responsibility and commitment to democracy in our youth, and foster an enduring and committed community. This charge requires us to be bold and comprehensive. We cannot make tweaks to the current education system. We must redesign it so that Michigan leads the world in preparing every child to learn for life in a changing future.”

"A “Rescue Plan” for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must now result in policies, budgets and investment to ensure a more just, equitable and green future by 2030."
