I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy.

I made education the highest priority of my campaign - actually education and jobs - and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it.

I would provide more opportunities for the kids of urban communities to go to school and learn trades - to get more jobs to take care of their families.

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we, as a people, can be engaged in.

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

In Congress, I'll work hard to encourage investment in education, particularly with respect to technology and bridging the digital divide.

I've spent the better part of my career in politics and public policy working on and fighting for education reforms.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

What would happen if we finally succeeded in following the directions of nature and recognized that the great secret of education lies hidden in the maxim, 'Do not educate'?
