Illinois: P-20 council's Year 1 report released

The Illinois P-20 council recently released its year 1 report, which includes broad recommendations and specific actions for state leaders to take. The areas of recommended activity are in line with issues that other councils have focused their efforts on, such as state data systems, teacher quality, transitions from high school to postsecondary. An executive summary of the council's report is also available.

ECS recommends that states (including P-20 councils) establish numerical goals for P-20 attainment and establish markers indicating progress toward those goals. The year 1 report sets forth the Illinois P-20 council's goal “to increase the proportion of Illinoisans with high-quality
degrees and credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025.”
