Clinton outlines education goals in State of the Union
President Clinton frames the Union as strong and outlines ten education goals. He aims for every eight year old to read independently and every twelve year old to access the Internet, with at least two years of college for eighteen year olds. He calls for AmeriCorps involvement but questions funding and feasibility. He endorses strong defense and crime reduction while urging welfare reform implementation. He stresses parental reading and cautions against assuming federal policing of every goal. He notes many ideas lack specifics and warns action, not amendments, is needed for budget balance.
