Forces Driving Change in Higher Education

Force #1: Student Preparedness / Education Barriers  In 2006, 45% of Washington’s students who went directly from high school to community or technical colleges had to take remedial (pre-college) math classes (Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges)  The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that 25 percent of students in the state take remedial courses in college, at a cost of $25 million annuallyAtlanta Journal-Constitution  Over 88 million adults have at least one “education barrier”

Education Barriers ( 88 Million Adults Have at Least One) 51.4 Million 18.2 Million 8.2 M 5.0 M 5.2 Million No H.S. Diploma H.S. Diploma No College Speak English“ Less Than Very Well” Source: U.S. Census Bureau
