Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education Activity Report 4.

Overview & Synopsis

Kentucky's Postsecondary Education System encompasses nine public institutions and numerous independent institutions and Kentucky Adult Education. The system represents 229,061 students, 538,866 Kentucky alumni, and 275,108 GED recipients. When Kentuckians earn postsecondary degrees, their skills improve and their wages go up; they are more likely to lead healthy lives and be engaged in their communities; and they build better futures for themselves and for their families. The Council Activity Report is a communication from the chair of the Council on Postsecondary Education to the members of the governing boards of regents and trustees. The topics are organized by the five questions of postsecondary reform. The questions in this report are: (1) Are more Kentuckians ready for postsecondary education? (2) Are more students enrolling? (3) Are more students advancing through the system? (4) Are we preparing Kentuckians for life and work? and (5) Are Kentucky's communities and economy benefiting? The report concludes with a section on "Other Activities." [Report produced by the Council on Postsecondary Education.]
