On the Issues
Education
America’s children are her greatest resource, and robust support of public education is essential to ensure that our young people can fulfill their potential and our country can maintain its competitive edge. Much of the strength of our education system is derived from the dedicated men and women who teach our children, and we must take steps to attract and retain teachers and to provide them with the resources they need to succeed.
I continue to regard education as my highest priority in Congress, from addressing the challenges of No Child Left Behind, which is due for renewal, to making sure children with disabilities have equal opportunities to learn. And in order to keep the doors of opportunity open to all students who strive for a bright future, we must work to ensure that a college education is affordable. On this account, the 110th Congress has made significant progress by cutting the interest rates in half for federal student loans.
