Obama: Everyone Should Be Able to Afford Higher Education - VOA News

U.S. President Barack Obama says he wants to make sure that obtaining a higher education is affordable. The U.S. leader said Saturday in his weekly address that paying for a higher education is a "constant struggle" for too many families and he wants to reverse that with new initiatives. The new measures include a reformed student loan system with more money going to students instead of banks, an expansion of grants and college tax credits for students and their families, and a chance for students to cap their student loan payments at ten percent of their income. http://www.voanews.com/content/obama-everyone-should-be-able-to-afford-higher-education/2415612.html
