postsecondary institutions?
We could decrease the % of our graduates needing
remediation postsecondary?
We could increase the % of students successfully
completing their first year? Second year?
We could get more kids into “hard to fill” programs?
THEN, we could close the gap between the % of jobs
requiring postsecondary completion, and the % of Kansans
acquiring postsecondary completion?
