Why College- and CareerReady Expectations for All
Alabama Students?
Updated February 2013
Why College- and Career-Ready
Expectations for All?
• The Economic Imperative: A high school diploma is
no longer enough; now, nearly every good job requires
some education beyond high school and all students
need to be academically prepared to compete for good
jobs in the global economy.
• The Equity Imperative: Far too many students drop
out or graduate from high school unprepared for
success. Students in minority groups drop out and fail
to attain postsecondary credentials at much higher
rates than their counterparts.

• The Expectations Imperative: The bar has been set
too low for too long, keeping students from reaching
their full potential, closing doors and limiting their posthigh school options and opportunities.

The Economic Imperative
Demand for Middle Skill Workers Outpaces
Alabama’s Supply
 In 1950, 60% of jobs were classified as unskilled, attainable
by young people with high school diplomas or less. Today,
20% of jobs are considered to be unskilled.
 One result: The demand for middle- and high-skilled workers
is outpacing the state’s supply of workers educated and
experienced at that level.

The Expectations Imperative
Students Overwhelmingly Want to Succeed and
Attend College
The vast majority of students intend to go on to college and
do not expect to drop out of high school:

“no chance” they will drop out in high school.
• 94 percent of high school students say that they are
planning to continue their education after high school
either at a two- or four-year institution.
• 95 percent of teenagers report that graduating from
high school is “critical to their future success.”
