August 31, 1998: Priorities For A Quality Education



PRESIDENT CLINTON:
PRIORITIES FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION

I have proposed a comprehensive education agenda with high national standards, more well-qualified teachers, smaller classes, modern schools equipped with computers, before and after-school programs to keep our young people learning in the classroom, and summer job programs to give young people the skills they need to succeed once they leave school.
