Transcript:

Hi. I’m Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education. Over the past year, we are really proud of saving at least 300,000 educators’ jobs across the country and staving off an education catastrophe, driving real reform in states around the country, and just getting the country focused on students and learning and how critically important it is. Our goal for 2010 is to re-write the education law, and to make sure, through that, that our students are college and career ready once they graduate from high school.
