On 5 May 2006 NEA TODAY reported: The David Lynch Foundation has donated US$150,000 to introduce a scientifically validated programme to improve US education. The May issue of the National Education Association's magazine reported that six public schools will receive $25,000 each so that they can offer the Transcendental Meditation Technique to their students. It is a joy for Global Good News service to feature this news, which indicates the success of the life-supporting programmes Maharishi has designed to bring fulfilment to the field of education.

Students and teachers at the schools will practise the TM Technique for about ten minutes each day. The article reports that the Transcendental Meditation Technique improves both 'well-being and academic performance' of students.

NEA Today cited two recent studies. One 'found that sixth-graders had higher self-esteem and more control over emotions after meditating'. The other found lower blood pressure in high school students who practise the Transcendental Meditation Technique. The first study was conducted by researchers in Michigan, the second by a researcher from the Medical College of Georgia.

Global Good News Comment:

NEA TODAY is the magazine of the National Education Association (NEA), the organization of America's public school teachers.

Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
