Income inequality grows along with the postsecondary skills gap
Why Must Ohio Achieve Goal 2025? • By 2018, 53% of Ohio’s jobs will require postsecondary education. • By 2018, 967,000 of the projected 1,700,000 job openings will require postsecondary credentials.
To Succeed We Must Focus On 21st Century Students • Of the 17.6M undergrads now enrolled 75% are juggling work, family, and school
Closing Equity Gaps is a Demographic Necessity Millions Data for all races exclude Hispanics. Population Division, Population Projections, U.S. Census Bureau. Released 2008.
To Succeed We Must Close Income Gaps Postsecondary Education Opportunity, “Bachelor’s Degree Attainment by Age 24 by Family Income Quartiles, 1970 to 2008.
Yet flagships give about the same amount of aid to higher-income students as they do to low-income students . “Opportunity Adrift,” The Education Trust, 2010.
And We Serve Those Least Who Need Us Most College Board
To Succeed We Must Create 21st Century Systems To Deliver Learning
A Learning Based System Is NOT • Focused on courses and seat time • Organized around semesters • Reliant on proxies for learning • A “one size fits all” approach
A Learning Based System IS • Outcomes based • Defined by transparent and assessable learning aligned with 21st century needs • Student centric • Open to acceleration • Open to innovative affordable delivery models for customized learning at scale
Why a College Completion Imperative? • The Economy Demands It • Our Quality of Life Depends On It • The Health of Our Democracy Depends On It • Our People Will Suffer Terribly Without It
How Does Ohio Reach Goal 2025? By Focusing On: • 21st Century Students • Transparent Data/Coordinated Action • Quality Learning Aligned with 21st Century Demands • Greater Investment In and Productivity Of Higher Education to Increase Our Capacity to Serve
