Each year more than 100,000 high school graduates, with proved ability, do not enter college because they cannot afford it. And if we cannot educate today's youth, what will we do in 1970 when elementary school enrollment will be 5 million greater than 1960? And high school enrollment will rise by 5 million. And college enrollment will increase by more than 3 million.
In many places, classrooms are overcrowded and curricula are outdated. Most of our qualified teachers are underpaid and many of our paid teachers are unqualified. So we must give every child a place to sit and a teacher to learn from. Poverty must not be a bar to learning, and learning must offer an escape from poverty.
每年有超过10万的高中毕业生虽然取得进入大学的资格，但因为负担不起大学费用而失去了接受高等教育的机会。如果我们不能教育今天的年轻人，那到1970年我们就更加一筹莫展。到那时，小学的入学人数将比1960年多500万，高中的入学人数将增加500万，大学的入学人数将增加300万。
在许多地区，教室拥挤不堪，课程过时，许多合格的教师领不到足额工资，也有许多能领到足额工资的教师不合格。所以，我们必须让每个孩子有位置坐，有教师教。贫穷绝对不能成为学习的障碍，学习必须提供摆脱贫穷的出路。
