SCORE issues report
The State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE) has released a report that examines Tennessee’s previous work to increase postsecondary degrees and offers strategies for helping more students who enter higher education to complete their degree or credential. Citing the economic, racial, and geographical barriers to higher education that exist — and have been accelerated and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — the report urges that Tennessee enact policies that reflect how students’ lifetime success and postsecondary completion are linked. During the online report release, Former US Sen. Bill Frist, founder of SCORE, pointed to the wide gap in Tennessee college completion rates that exists between White (54 percent), Black (35 percent), Hispanic (46 percent) and Pell-eligible students (41 percent). The Going Higher report outlines the following recommendations: • A statewide goal to increase higher education completion rates for Black, Hispanic, and Pell-eligible students and achieve the same rate for all student groups by 2035. • Align Tennessee’s postsecondary system to the future workforce. • Reinvent credential delivery for Tennessee public higher education. • Increase student success with Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTP). • Maintain momentum for student success.
