“After trying for months to work with Congress on education reform, we decided to take it into our own hands,” Obama said at a Head Start educational facility in Yeadon, Penn.

The comments were similar to remarks Obama has been making over the last few weeks, as the White House looks to portray Republicans as obstructionist.

The administration’s latest executive action will change the incentive structure for the government’s Head Start program, which provides pre-school education to almost one million low-income children. The Obama plan will require Head Start educators that don’t meet certain benchmarks to compete with other organizations for federal funds, an incentive the White House believes will improve the quality of the program.
