Clinton’s Speech on Education
Good morning. Today I’d like to speak to you about a breakthrough for education – our agreement to move forward with national tests to make sure every school child masters the basics. The best way to give our children the world-class education they need to thrive in the 21st century is by setting high standards of academic achievement. When we fail to encourage our children and expect a lot of them, we, in fact, encourage them to fail. That is why I’ve called upon America to join me in raising the standards and adopting national exams to measure our progress at meeting the standards.
This year, we have made great progress on our pledge to ensure that every 8-year-old can read, every 12-year-old can log on to the internet, every 18-year-old can go on to college. In the bill I signed last week, we helped to build a citizen army of reading tutors, nearly doubled our investment in education technology; we expanded public school choice and competition and we provided the largest increase in Pell Grant scholarship in two decades. As we raise standards for our children, we’re also providing them with the tools they need to meet the challenge and seize the opportunities of the 21st century. Working together, we’re lifting our children’s sights, raising their hopes, and honoring our obligation to improve education today so that they can meet the challenges of tomorrow. Thanks for listening.
