An Audio Interview with Marc Tucker

Welcome to a special audio interview with Marc Tucker, President of the National Center on Education and the Economy, Washington, D.C. In this interview, Dr. Tucker describes his work with the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce.

This audio interview is offered as an additional resource to the “Making Tough Choices” section published in the June 2007 issue of the Phi Delta Kappan. In this special section, Tucker summarizes the Commission's proposals, four commentators respond to those proposals, and Tucker answers their critiques. In the interview, Tucker discusses possible changes to secondary education, ways to strengthen the No Child Left Behind Act, the nature of college education, and competition from Asia.
