College and Career Readiness

Last Updated on Friday, May 11, 2012 at 11:40 AM

The vision of the Kentucky Board of Education is to ensure that all students reach proficiency and graduate from high school ready for college and careers. The board’s vision is informed by a changing economy that requires P-12 schools to prepare students for a more complex and competitive workplace.

Therefore, in February 2011, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) secured the Commonwealth Commitment from all districts to move 50 percent of their district's high school graduates who are not college- and/or career-ready to college- and/or career-ready between 2010 and 2015.
