Obama 1983 received a bachelor's degree in literature from Columbia University, and 199 1 received a doctorate in law from Harvard University. Since then, he has taught the Constitution at the Law School of the University of Chicago and is a typical "academic" intellectual. Obama believes that education has changed his life! He once said in the campaign: "It is time to finally fulfill the moral responsibility of providing world-class education for every child, because global economic competition does not allow us to slack off. The only reason Michelle and I can stand here tonight is that we have the opportunity to get an education. "

It is based on his educational background and growing experience that Obama attaches great importance to education. Before he was elected president, he said in an interview with Education Weekly that he would increase the tax relief for college tuition and support the federal education law.

It is reported that Obama advocates that the federal government should invest at least $654.38+09 billion in education every year, and will build a large number of new public schools, increasing the federal government's allocation to charter schools to $400 million. In order to realize these plans, he will cancel the CEO's tax cuts, reduce the office expenses of Congress and federal agencies, and postpone NASA's moon and Mars programs.

Obama will call on parents, families and schools to work together and take responsibility to instill in the younger generation our best common values, such as integrity, hard work and being law-abiding citizens. If we let the younger generation achieve excellent results, but fail to cultivate their values and make them responsible citizens, then we can't say that our society has succeeded. After taking office, Obama will take the following measures:

Every federally funded school is required to set clear and high expectations for students' behaviors and common values, and make them recognized by school teachers and parents.

Encourage schools and parents to work together to conclude a home-school contract and put forward expectations for students' attendance, behavior and homework.

Call on parents to turn off the TV, take away the video games, ensure their children finish their homework, and strive to play a greater role in and out of school.

All students should take part in community service.

On June 5438+00, US President Barack Obama put forward a comprehensive education reform plan, including measures such as extending school hours, improving teachers' treatment and improving education level, so as to help American students improve their international competitiveness. Obama's education reform plan will run from cradle to career, ensuring that all Americans receive a comprehensive education and occupy a place in the unpredictable global economic situation. He also urged American states to adopt stricter educational standards, especially in reading and mathematics, and to expand and redesign the federal student aid program.

According to Obama's plan, the US government will nearly triple its education budget in fiscal year 20 10, of which the budget of the Ministry of Education is127.8 billion US dollars, while this figure was only 46.2 billion US dollars in fiscal year 2009. In addition, of the $787 billion economic stimulus plan just approved by Congress, $5 billion is also used for education investment.

Enlightenment from this news: (Combined with the current situation in China)

1, "From cradle to career" education system, we can know that American education attaches great importance to children's life planning and cultivates children's professional awareness and skills from an early age. This is helpful to reflect on the severe employment situation of college students in China and the lack of career planning education for children in China's education system.

2. Urge American states to adopt stricter educational standards, especially in reading and mathematics. American parents attach great importance to their children's reading habits. They pay attention to children's language expression ability and think that if they can't express it accurately, it will be difficult for others to understand and understand. Americans attach great importance to the accuracy of expression, so that both sides can understand each other, which can be seen from the generous, calm and curious character of American children in communication with others. In China, many things are caused by poor communication, which is actually a big problem. Mathematics can cultivate children's good thinking ability and improve their ability to think and solve problems from multiple angles.

3. The U.S. government will nearly triple the education budget in fiscal year 20 10. According to experts at the two sessions yesterday, there is an overproduction of steel, electricity and cement in China. If the country's 4 trillion plan to stimulate domestic demand is used too much for public facilities construction (such as building high-speed rail and other profitable projects), it may cause waste. However, the country's long-term debts in education, medical care and social security have not been effectively improved, and the country should consider investing limited funds in places that need improvement most. Therefore, in today's financial tsunami, many countries and regions, even individuals, regard improving national quality as an important strategy in times of crisis. We might as well learn from Obama's plan and put more energy into improving the overall quality of the people.
