Obama to address U.S. education woes in speech

Reuters  March 10, 2009

President Barack Obama will give his first education-only speech today at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.  Obama wants to increase the rigor of the
standards in place, challenge states to adopt world-class standards
rather than state specific standards, reward good teachers, redesign federal aid programs for students, and turn around underperforming schools, yet he does not plan to change the No Child Left Behind program.
