Obama 'gets it'

We’ve been looking through Obama’s vision for education and it’s spelt out here.
Much of this lines up with the vision that many New Zealanders have articulated:
‘America faces few more urgent challenges than preparing our children to compete in a global economy. The decisions our leaders make about education in the coming years will shape our future for generations to come.’
‘Public education in America should foster innovation and provide students with varied, high-quality learning opportunities.’
‘We cannot ensure we’re ready for the economic challenges of the 21st century if our schools and learning systems are firmly planted in the 20th century. Today, the information economy is revolutionizing every area of our lives, but too many schools do not have access to these critical resources.’
And you can see Obama talking education here.
