Education Agenda for the Common Good 2007
Minnesota’s Private Colleges ask the state to prepare more high school students for college and help keep college affordable
Given that Minnesota’s need for college-educated graduates will soon exceed the supply, the Minnesota Private College Council (MPCC) has released an education agenda that aims to put more students on a path to college. The agenda focuses on two key areas:
- Preparing more high school students to pursue additional education
- Helping keep college affordable for low- and middle-income students
During the 2007 legislative session, policymakers took some steps forward on higher education but did not sufficiently address the state's education challenges. Read May newsletter story. Read Minnesota Office of Higher Education press release.
MPCC will continue to work with partners to pursue the agenda to increase academic preparedness of our students and future leaders.
