Title:State policies on student transitions: Results of a 50-state inventory
Source:http://www.nchems.org/c2sp/documents/Transition...
Date:2008
Organization:National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS)
Short Description:The intent of the NCHEMS Student Transitions Study, funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education, is to document the many differences in policy attention states give to improving the educational pipeline.
Annotation:A central objective of state policy is to move larger numbers of citizens through the “educational pipeline” to attain a college degree. Equally important in stimulating change is widespread recognition that possessing a high school diploma no longer guarantees middle class earnings and life styles. But acknowledgement of the importance of this goal across the states does not guarantee equal levels of policy attention and states vary widely in the ways they choose to address these issues. The intent of the NCHEMS Student Transitions Study, funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education, is to document these many differences.
