STRATEGY #1 OF A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:

Ensure that all academic roads are rigorous and lead to higher education

Because the benefits of higher education to both individuals and society are large and getting larger, we must expect and prepare every student to earn a degree or credential from a technical college, a community college or a four-year college or university.  To achieve that goal, all students should be provided with an academically rigorous education from the early grades through high school that challenges their minds, builds on their interests and connects with their learning styles.  Technology has an increasingly powerful role to play in personalizing learning to meet the academic needs of every child.  Students who choose not to pursue higher education after high school will still benefit from having the knowledge and skills needed for postsecondary success.
