A plan to revise the Education Act of 2002 by President George W. Bush was encouraged by the Obama administration unveiled Friday in hopes of replacing a system that has been in the past ten years, more than one third of the schools marked as failing, which a mishmash of sometimes weak academic standards between the states.
“If we do not – unless we step – there are many children who never reach their full talent and potential,” said Obama during a video address on Saturday. “I can not agree that the future for them. And I do not accept that the future for the United States of America.”
In the proposed dismantling of the No Child Left Behind Act, education officials move away from punishing schools that are not the targets, and focus on schools, to reward the progress, especially with students wants the poor and minorities. Obama Congress Send write the Monday of the law.

The master plan allows states other subjects such as reading and mathematics in their efforts to achieve the federal government, encouraging many education groups who have said “No Child Left Behind encouraged teachers not to use focus on history, art, science, social, and other important topics.
And for the first time in 45 years, the White House is proposing an increase of 4 billion U.S. dollars in federal spending for education, most of which would go to increase competition among States for the grant money and s ‘away from the formula-based funding.
