The world is changing fast and we must change with it. That is why I have asked the leaders of our state's education agencies to work together to guarantee that Georgia's students receive an excellent education -- from Pre-K to Ph.D. The Alliance of Education Agency Heads is charged with collaborating on policies and programs that can prepare our next generation for the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Separately, each of these agencies are doing outstanding work. But working together, they can change the course of Georgia's future for all of its citizens. Please visit this website often to find out information about the Alliance and how you can be a part of this historic time in Georgia's education system. -- Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue
