"In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity, it is a pre-requisite. That is why it will be the goal of this Administration to ensure that every child has access to a complete and competitive education – from the day they are born to the day they begin a career."- President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009
 
“For every dollar we spend on these programs, we get nearly $10 back in reduced welfare rolls, fewer health care costs and less crime.” - United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
