Report: Schools Aren't Preparing Kids for CollegeAccording to a recent report from education advocacy group the Alliance for Excellent Education (AEE), high schools aren't doing a good enough job of preparing students for postsecondary education. The issue brief, released at a September 12 panel discussion, is a collection of data from various news sources and studies conducted by organizations such as ACT. According to the brief, only 34 percent of students graduate from high school ready for college, and only 18 percent of high school freshman graduate in four years, go on to college, and earn an associate's or bachelor's degree. It also reports that one-third of those who make it to college must take remedial courses at a cost of $1.4 billion every year. Questions, ideas, or in need of more information? Please contact Stacey Pusey at 856-241-7772. |
