Preparing high school students for work or further study
Too few Arizona students graduate for high school, and of those who do, many are unprepared for work or further study without costy and time consuming remediation or training. As the global, knowledge-based economy develops, it is becoming increasingly clear that a high school education is no longer sufficient to qualify for many jobs that will pay a livable wage in the 21st century workplace. A postsecondary educational experience is necessary to atain most of these positions, yet our current system is not adequately preparing all of our students to pursue postsecondary options.
