Obama: Everyone must get more schooling
Obama makes a huge push for higher education in tonight’s speech. He says he wants everyone to graduate high school and complete at least one year of additional training — college or technical school — and says that he wants the U.S. to regain its place as the nation with the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. It’s a goal we can meet, he says.
He also hits on parental responsibility, as he did often on the campaign trail. Obama’s keeping education out front here. Interesting, since a lot of people who care about education questioned his level of commitment and interest in the issue during the campaign.
