U.S. President Barak Obama will announce a campaign, called Educate to Innovate, to encourage students, especially in middle and high school, to pursue science, technology, engineering and math. The campaign will reinforce the importance of science to kids and inspire them.

In international comparison exams, American students have lagged behind those in much of Asia and Europe.

That brought about attention and concerns from the White House, even the president. They have been trying to change the situation.

Why is America called a superpower? Maybe the answer is obvious. It can focus on priority, all the time, among which education is the most important. And nowadays, science and technology dominate the world, determine a nation's prosperity and strength, and finally people's living standard.

Education is fundamental. Education is future.
