Steve Jobs on Education

Jobs treated education as a place where computers could change learning, but only if they were powerful, affordable, and designed for real use. He also said great teachers matter more than technology, and argued that schools improve through competition, focus, and tools that let students do more on their own.

“I think that computers can radically revolutionize the educational process around the world.”
“The most important thing is another person”
“Apple is the largest education company in the world.”
