Career & Technical Education
While “college for all” has become the mantra in today’s education system, this single-minded focus shortchanges several important groups of students, including those who drop out of high school, those who complete high school and do not continue to college, and those who enter college woefully unprepared and often drop out. Career & Technical Education could encourage these students to complete high school, ensure that they are better prepared for jobs when they graduate, and perhaps even increase their chances of entering college.
