Education

Today I am pleased to sign into law S. 1880, the 'Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education Act of 2000.'

I congratulate Secretary Shalala on her appointment as president of the University of Miami.

I am proud of the DC College Access Act.

I call upon students, educators, and all the people of the United States to learn more about the international nature of science and technology.

I have been on a tour these last 2 days to highlight the good things that are happening in education in America.

There are successful partnerships between public schools and faith communities across the Nation in afterschool programs, school safety, discipline, and student literacy.

You're seeing what works in this school.

I must say, I don't know that I have ever been more touched by anything I have ever seen in any school in my life as I was when I looked up.

We've helped to reduce class size in the early grades with our program.

My Administration has taken landmark steps to help State and localities improve educational opportunities for students.

Increasing the quality of education in this country for disadvantaged students is a national priority but requires the active involvement of every affected community.

We ought to give the States enough money to repair another 5,000 schools every single year for the next 5 years.

Ten years ago, when things looked pretty grim for public schools, there was bad news to report.

You have proved that all children can learn, and you have also proved that public schools can succeed.

Much more can be done, especially for low-performing schools.

There has been progress in math and reading achievement, particularly for low-achieving students and students in our highest poverty schools.

I think educational opportunity ought to be also equally distributed.

Education is more important than ever before.
