US building education system to compete with China and India: Obama

Premium

Washington: US President Barack Obama has said he is laying the foundation of an education system which would help America compete with China and India in the 21st century.

“We have already taken some steps that are building the foundation for a 21st century education system here in America, one that will allow us to compete with China and India and everybody else all around the world," Obama told a cheering crowd in Warren Michigan where he announced the American Graduation Initiative.

After entering the White House and even during his election campaign last year, Obama has been urging American parents to gear up and focus on studies of their kids as students from countries like China and India are marching ahead.

“At the start of my administration I set a goal for America: By 2020, this nation will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. We used to have that. We’re going to have it again," Obama said amidst applause from the audience.
