Children participate in a computing class at an Innova school in the outskirts of Lima, July 3, 2012. With 11 schools and nearly 5,000 students, Innova schools have introduced a new concept between horrendous public schools and traditional private schools for the rich that can cost $1,000 a month. It charges between $95 and $150 a month for what they call a cutting-edge curriculum. Intercorp, the financial holding company of No. 4 Peruvian lender Interbank, plans to open 70 Innova schools nationwide over the next ten years, which would make it the biggest chain of its kind in Latin America.

Students arrive for class at Mahnomen Elementary School in Mahnomen, Minnesota September 26, 2013. The U.S. government may have headed off some of the most dire predictions about the "sequester," but over seven months, the across-the-board spending cut has thrown sand into the gears of the economic recovery. Mahnomen school district, which serves the White Earth Indian reservation in Minnesota, lost three percent of its funding due to the sequester. The district didn't replace a teacher who retired and has scaled back on homework tutoring and an alternative-school program for teenage mothers. Another year of cuts could force the school to lay off teachers and scale back bus service, superintendent Jeff Bisek says. Picture taken September 26, 2013.
