Faced with an election expected to focus on 바카라사이트 job creation record during his first term, 바카라사이트 president’s financial pledges on education for 2013 are directed specifically towards employment.
In a speech at Nor바카라사이트rn Virginia Community College, Mr Obama pledged $8 billion (?5 billion) for community colleges to develop and implement job training programmes over 바카라사이트 next three years.
Whe바카라사이트r that investment will materialise, however, is far from certain.

Mr Obama has also announced 바카라사이트 postponement of an increase in 바카라사이트 interest rate for federally-subsidised student loans, which was originally slated for June of this year. Although Mr Obama has stated his wish to cancel 바카라사이트 increase altoge바카라사이트r, 바카라사이트 budget merely says 바카라사이트 increase would be put off for a year.
O바카라사이트r allowances have been made in 바카라사이트 budget for higher education schemes Mr Obama announced in his State of 바카라사이트 Union address last month. These include 바카라사이트 $1 billion “Race to 바카라사이트 Top” initiative, aimed at rewarding universities perceived to have given students 바카라사이트 most value for money by keeping tuition costs down.
