McCain campaign calls for education reform
Policy advisers from the McCain Campaign Phil Handy, Lisa Graham Keegan, Doug Holtz Eakin, and Nancy Pfotenhauer discuss Sen. John McCain’s remarks on education at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. Participants in the conference say McCain’s proposals like bonuses to recruit highly qualified teachers can have an immediate effect and help to lessen unnecessary bureaucracy. Participants also explain McCain’s support for school vouchers as an alternative to low-performing public schools. (20:02)
