I will continue my activities related to education in one way or another. I certainly would have at the top my agenda, with respect to education, the need to do much better with modern educational technology.

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.

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

During my time as a state legislator, I've pushed for significant investment in public school districts. In Congress, I would look forward to increasing federal public investment in education through initiatives like Race to the Top.

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.

There is nothing more important to our Nation's future, to our homeland security, and to our economy than ensuring we have a top-notch educational system that is the envy of the world.

Because education is the backbone of a competitive workforce and successful economy, making it a priority is not uncommon.

Education isn't part of my agenda, it is my agenda.

Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.

Reducing our dependence on foreign energy - that is critically important to America's economic future. Excellence in education - if we're not the best educated, we're not going to be the most powerful for very long.
