Gates attends a lunch discussion with West Charlotte High School students in North Carolina in September.
Innovation in education is key, he tells CNET. "If we don't innovate in education, the budget cuts and increasing expense of a really great university education, it's literally going to mean less people get to go have that education at a time when more people are going to want it and the country needs more people to get those educations."
