Obama’s Educational Plan

In Obama’s State of the Union speech he talked about America’s educational plan. Some of things mentioned in the speech was that ¾ of jobs require college and only ½ of Americans have a college education. To make matters worse, ½ of college students eventually dropout. Since becoming president, Obama has already began to expand early childhood educations programs. He is trying to make college more affordable by giving Americans tax credit. Obama is going to prevent teacher layoffs. He has many things planned to help America and to make things easier. He wants to help high school graduates that have financial problems by having them volunteer in their community for one year and get college paid for. Also Obama wants to expand charter schools, he wants to get all Americans to go back to college for one more year and he encourages parents and families to get involved and take responsibility for children’s education.
