Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have pledged $20 million to a nonprofit working to equip schools with high-speed Internet connections, The New York Times writes. The gift was the couple’s second to EducationSuperHighway, following a $3-million donation in 2013.
The nonprofit, launched in 2012 by start-up entrepreneur Evan Marwell, helps schools with slower connections tap into the billions of dollars the federal government makes available for districts to improve Internet access. The group’s goals dovetail with Mr. Zuckerberg’s support for developing online platforms to tailor education to the needs and interests of individual students, an approach known as personalized learning.
