PK-20 Initiative
One of the major goals of the
Commission, as outlined in the State Plan for Alabama Higher Education, is to
formalize a PK-20 Initiative – a seamless system of education used to integrate
through an alignment of state and federal resources, a complete educational
system of ongoing student support and business/industry interests. (Pls.
note pipeline identifiers, i.e. student
current efforts, data support system, new initiatives)
The PK-20 Initiative
incorporates all facets of education from early learning opportunities through
higher education. Current issues facing educators and business leaders will be
addressed. Those include expanding access to college and/or employment by
modifying delivery options and creating recognizable benchmarks for success with
clearly defined competencies to ensure positive outcomes. This will be
essential in reducing the need for continuing remediation and addressing
drop-out issues. More educational opportunities at all levels should reduce the
number of dropouts, while increasing high school and college retention and
graduation rates, while supporting career systems at all levels.
Gov. Robert Bentley has taken
the lead in recognizing the long-range value of a coordinated statewide effort
to prepare Alabama students for college and a career.
In January,
2013, Executive
Order 36 was announced, establishing the Governor’s College and Career Ready
Task Force bringing together members of the legislature, the education continuum
and the business community in a united effort to strengthen the preparation of
students for the workforce.
