In his weekly radio and video address, Obama said as many as a quarter of American students are not【C1】______high school and far too few young people are getting college degrees.
"It is an【C2】______fact that countries who out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow. Businesses will hire wherever the highly skilled, highly trained workers are located," the Democrat said. "We have to【C3】______up our game and raise our standards."

His $447 billion job creation plan includes money for hiring teachers and school repairs, and on Friday he announced a【C5】______of "No Child Left Behind", a decade-old education measure introduced by former President George W. Bush that seeks to hold schools【C6】______for students’ performance.
"No Child" has been widely【C7】______for being inflexible, requiring teachers to adhere to a narrow curriculum【C8】______mostly at ensuring that students pass standardised tests.
"Experience has taught us that the law has some serious【C9】______that are hurting our children instead of helping them," Obama said, making plain that education will be one of his key【C10】______issues into the vote in 2012.
"These problems have been obvious to parents and educators all over this country for years. But for years, Congress has failed to fix them. So now, I will," he said.
