“Any significant increase in the number of
Georgians who complete college will require a
historic new era of coordination between the
state’s public and private colleges and the
business community,” said Deal. “To have a
successful future in Georgia, and remain
competitive nationwide and globally, we have
to have an educated workforce, and that
means we need to do a better job getting
people into college, make sure they receive a
high-quality education and then graduate
them.”
