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.

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.
