(I): (16)Finally tonight, the tie between educating our children and national security. It’s by now a familiar warning: Our public schools are not adequately educating our children. A new report put out by the Council on Foreign Relations frames the risk in a global con text, impacting both our economic and military power—(17)among its recommendations, expanding a core curriculum in school districts across the country beyond an emphasis on reading and math to include more science, technology, history, and foreign languages, offer students more choices and competition to public school, and launch a national readiness audit to raise awareness and hold school accountable. The 30-member task force was headed by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. And I sat down with her in Washington this morning. Condoleezza Rice, welcome.
(R): Thank you.
(I): Secretary Rice, why frame this as a national security issue? And make it concrete. What’s the specific impact you see of poor education?
(R): National security is broader than what you can do with you military forces, obviously. But, even there, when it comes to the very tangible assets that United States needs to defend itself, the education of people who can be soldiers, too many people can’t quality for military service.
(I): Simple can’t qualify?
(R): (18)Simply can’t qualify, when it comes to the foreign service or to intelligence agencies or to the ability to have people who can think about the problems of cyber-warfare and cyber-security and critical infrastructure protection. Then, of course, there’s the matter of the competitiveness of our economy edge, and then finally the matter of our social cohesion. The United States,(19)we’ve always been held together by the belief that it doesn’t matter where you came from. It matters where you’re going. And that is— absolutely, without education, we cannot maintain that cohesion.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.
16. What is the interview mainly about?
17. What is recommended in the report?
18. What is the job that people can’t qualify in the army?
