How Institutions Can Increase Student Attainment: Questions 2. Are there any important changes institutions can make to educate and increase the number of graduates?
It is very important that institutions take collective ownership for the percent of the states population with college degrees. This is a difference from the past, where institutions tended to have most responsibility primarily for those students who come to their front door and to they get them in and out. We are in a new world. We clearly know that the age 25-34 year olds are the entrepreneur spirit of the world. We need more college graduates in that age group. Missouri doesnt do well, we are below that average. The nation does not do well relative to other countries. We need the institutions to take collective ownership of this responsibility. Not just how many of their students are graduating but how many of the total states students are being educated. Institutions need to be more reflective and use data more strategically.
