What’s missing from Obama’s education plan
I have been following the presidential candidates and hoped that, per this article, Senator Obama had addressed higher education. However, the text of the speech reveals that this was about K-12, and references to either TRIO or GEAR UP was made in passing. Hopefully, as the campaign heats up over the next several months we will see the candidates take substantive stands on higher education and, particularly, the importance of serving today’s workforce through higher education programs for adults.

Welcome to The Other 85 Percent. So what does "the other 85 percent" refer to? Research has shown that only about 15 percent of higher education students still fit the traditional definition of young adults age 18 to 22 who live on campus and go to school full time. more

Caroline Hatfield Says:
What truly scares me, not only as a teacher but an employer, that even those students who have graduated still cannot always be placed into the workforce because they don’t have the skills to work with people or to do the actual work. Many of them are difficult to train because they haven’t been taught these skills.
