Education

You can learn a lot about a country's future by visiting its public schools.

We must educate all our children, the boys and the girls alike.

The 21st century must be the century of education and the century of the teacher.

We've got to modernize these schools, raise the standards...

Every State should do this for first-time teachers just the way they do it for lawyers and doctors.

Now is the time to strengthen public education, not to drain precious resources from it.

The way to improve education for all our children is to increase standards, accountability, and choice within the public schools.

I urge the Congress to meet that obligation and to send me instead the legislation I have proposed to reduce class size; improve the quality of teaching; modernize our schools; end social promotions; raise academic standards; and hold…

We must prepare our children for the 21st century by providing them with the best education in the world.

You, the educators of our Nation, are the architects of that 21st century America.

Learning cannot occur unless our schools are safe and orderly places.

We must recognize that giving you the tools to have a safe, orderly classroom is central to the mission of renewing America.

We still have work to do to give this country the world's best system of elementary and secondary education.

Nothing we can do will equip our young people for the modern world unless all of our young people have a very good education and are able to keep on learning for a lifetime.

It is imperative that we get 100 percent of our kids to stay in school, get their high school diploma, go back and get their GED if they have already dropped out, and then go on to at least 2 years of college.

The 21st century will not only be known as the information age, it will also be known by ordinary people as the education age.

We had the biggest expansion in aid to college since the GI bill was passed at the end of World War II.

I have fought for high national standards and national tests to help our children reach their highest potential.
