The failures of the current U.S. education system have created an unprecedented crisis that is taking a terrible toll far beyond the school walls. This, along with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, has contributed to the first decline in high school graduation rates in decades as well as a troubling drop in community college enrollments. More worrying, those most affected are historically underserved students, including low-income and students of color whose academic achievement levels are already lagging their peers. This crisis threatens to weaken the economy as many employers are experiencing significant problems finding employees with the education and skills needed in the workplace. It also jeopardizes our efforts to create a more equitable and engaged society, which is essential to strengthening our democracy.
As we come out of the pandemic, we have an obligation and opportunity to seize this moment and advance a new paradigm for education, one that will break down the silos between the classroom, college and career. Our goal is to champion high-quality pathways to help students and young adults advance far more seamlessly from K-12 schools through post-secondary education and then to careers and future success. We believe that this paradigm has the potential to create a system that is far more effective and efficient at preparing students for their chosen careers. This “Pathways Approach” is by far the most promising strategy for reviving the American Dream for millions of young Americans long frustrated by a system that has only reinforced the decline in social mobility, widening economic inequalities, and persistent racial disparities.
