Senator Unveils His Plan to Increase Graduation Rates

ALBUQUERQUE, May 4 -- Sen. John F. Kerry introduced his education plan in this battleground state on Tuesday, blaming President Bush for the nation's high dropout rate and vowing to increase graduation rates by 1 million students over five years.

"As everybody knows, the promise of No Child Left Behind has been broken," Kerry told parents and teachers at Longfellow Elementary School, referring to the Bush administration's education program to improve student proficiency in reading and math, which some administrators have said sets standards many schools cannot meet.

Kerry pledged to increase graduation rates by reducing class sizes, breaking up large failing high schools, offering a college-student mentoring program for middle schoolers, and taking away driver's licenses from students who drop out. He also promised to fund No Child Left Behind, which he had voted for and has accused the administration of abandoning by not fully funding it and by not enforcing some of its provisions.
