I have a lot of respect for the work of the Gates Foundation. But I also have many qualms and questions. What does it means for education policy to have one organization control such a large percentage of available grant making funds? Does it alter the choices of education policy NGOs in order for them to be eligible to receive the funds? If yes, is that a problem. Are some areas of research and work underfunded and ignored if they don't fit into the Gates mandate? Or, because of the great expense of changing education, can big changes and experiments only happen with big pockets?
