In order to compete and win internationally, our nation needs a highly educated workforce that is second to none. Rising levels of education are critical to creating shared economic growth and mobility for every American. And keeping America’s teachers in our classrooms is central to that goal.
This week, President Obama visited the University of Texas to discuss the relationship between his goals for America’s higher education system and the future of the American economy. And today, the President took bold action, signing important legislation to provide urgent fiscal relief to school districts across the country to maintain our education system, and to enable 160,000 teachers to keep their jobs.
