For Immediate Release             March 4, 1999


STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

 Today's release of state-by-state National Assessment of Education Progress
scores is evidence that our efforts to raise academic standards. have begun to
payoff. Many states have shown significant improvement in reading in the last
four years, and some states that had scores well below the national average
have made the greatest gains. But much remains to be done to ensure that every
child in America is mastering the basics. That is why I urge the Senate to
vote this week to continue funding for 100,000 new, well-prepared teachers to
reduce class size in the early grades.  Parents and teachers across the country
know that smaller classes lead to improved student performance in reading and
other basic skills. We should grasp this opportunity to build on the gains we
have made, so that every child in America is prepared to meet the challenges of
the 21st century.
