Washington, Jumada I 23, 1436, Mar 14, 2015, SPA -- US President Obama used his weekly address on Saturday to lay out his vision for quality, affordable higher education for all Americans. The president announced a Student Bill of Rights earlier in the week, which would be a set of guiding principles behind his vision for affordable education. “It says that every student deserves access to a quality, affordable education,” the President said. “Every student should be able to access the resources to pay for college.” Obama points to steps his administration has taken to improve college education, including expanding tax credits and Pell Grants, as the average undergrad who borrows to pay for college ends up graduating with around $28,000 in student loan debt. “That’s why my Administration has worked hard to make college more affordable,” he said. The President is encouraging everyone to visit WhiteHouse.gov/CollegeOpportunity to sign the declaration in support of a Student Aid Bill of Rights to ensure students who work hard for a college degree do not graduate saddled with debt. -- SPA 21:33 LOCAL TIME 18:33 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
