U.S. president Barack Obama today addressed several challenges facing the American education system. Obama made the comments before the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Among the problems Obama talked about - high college and high school dropout rates. Near the end of his speech, Obama stressed the importance of factors outside of school, in particular parental involvement and supplemental education, in ensuring students succeed in school. Obama also reminisced about the crucial role his mother played in his own early education.
