Basic Education Coalition Statement on President Obama’s State of the Union Address
January 26, 2011
The Basic Education Coalition applauds President Obama’s emphasis in the State of the Union on the importance of quality education and its critical role in building US economic growth. President Obama stated “when a child steps into a classroom, it should be a place of high expectations and high performance.” This principle holds true for classrooms not only in the United States, but throughout the world. Quality education equips people with the knowledge, skills and self-reliance they need to increase income and expand opportunities for employment.
