Obama to address vision for education reform

Obama to address education shake up

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama is expected to flesh out his vision for education reform in a speech to Hispanic business leaders on Tuesday, a White House spokesman said.

Obama will "outline the beginnings of a reform agenda on education," spokesman Robert Gibbs told journalists.

Addressing a key theme of his presidential campaign, Obama will speak to US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, his first major address dedicated to education since taking office in January.

Gibbs said the speech would "talk about the nature of what has been -- what's already gone through and the potential of what's gone through Congress," a reference to the recently-adopted 787-billion-dollar stimulus package.

Gibbs said Obama would also talk about "steps that he thinks that the administration and Congress can take together to improve our educational system for the 21st century."
