Washington (CNN) -- By the time students return to school next fall, President Obama wants Congress to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, more commonly known as No Child Left Behind.
In a speech at a Virginia middle school Monday, the president is expected to praise the effort members of Congress have already made, but will call on them to finish their work before August.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan issued a dire prediction Sunday afternoon during a conference call with reporters. If No Child Left Behind isn't reformed, four out of five schools won't meet the law's standards, he said.
