THE EDUCATIONAL PIPELINE: BIG INVESTMENT, BIG RETURNS
Many states are now focusing on improving their “K-16” policies-those local and statewide policies that seek to bolster student success at key transitions from high school into college, and from college admission to completion of a degree. This new trend derives from efforts to create a stronger “educational pipeline,” a productive, integrated system of high schools, colleges and universities within the state. The educational pipeline is being viewed as the key avenue to increasing a state’s “educational capital.” This is the number of highly knowledgeable, skilled people in a state’s workforce.
