A strong economy begins with a strong, well-educated workforce.

You can't have a sustainable US economy without a great education system. Teach students to do the job right. You don't have an innovative economy unless you have a great education.

The economy is the start and end of everything. You can't have successful education reform or any other reform if you don't have a strong economy.

The connection between education and a healthy economy is critical.

I think people understand that if you're going to have a successful economy, you need people's potential to be realized. That means education. It means university education, sure, but it also means training, apprenticeships and various kinds of skills diplomas that we know are necessary.

A great economy requires great public schools.

Education is the best economic policy there is.

When we set up our kids for failure, we set up our workforce for failure, and we set up our economy for failure. I can't emphasize enough the importance, the absolute importance, of education in achieving long-term economic growth.

Well, I tell young people to be successful today that, first of all, that what you learn today directly impacts what you earn tomorrow. This is a knowledge-based economy.

A good education is a foundation for a better future.
