Source:	http://publications.sreb.org/2010/10E13_Measuri...
Date:	2010
Organization:	Southern Regional Education Board (SREB)
Short Description:	This report points to the challenges that SREB states — and the entire nation — face as they seek to raise the education levels of their residents. It complements the recent SREB report on college completion, No Time to Waste: Policy Recommendations for Increasing College Completion, which details how states can meet these challenges head-on.
Annotation:	This report points to the challenges that SREB states — and the entire nation — face as they seek to raise the education levels of their residents. It complements the recent SREB report on college completion, No Time to Waste: Policy Recommendations for Increasing College Completion, which details how states can meet these challenges head-on. Most states have found success in improving degree completion in a few areas, but the challenge is addressing many different fronts all at once — from keeping college costs down and strengthening financial aid, to bringing more adults back to college, to insisting on more productivity and efficiency in our colleges and universities.
