News & Events
"The initial progress report issued by the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center underscores both the critical challenges and the vital importance of advancing the college completion agenda. The United States' downward drift among industrialized nations in postsecondary completion threatens our nation's future economic well-being as well as our position of global leadership. The coordinated, comprehensive approach recommended by the College Board—viewing education as a continuum, aligning curriculum, improving access and affordability, and other actions—gives us the opportunity to plug the numerous "leaks" in the educational pipeline, reverse the troubling trends in college completion, and secure America's economic and social future for generations to come. I am heartened by the progress we are seeing in some areas, but a broader commitment is required if we genuinely wish to succeed."
