Texas leads the nation in business, energy, and economic development. Our public schools should match this gold standard.
CHALLENGE
Texas is creating high-opportunity jobs but not educating a generation of students with the skills to hold those jobs.
Our students are a tale of two versions of young Texans: academic standards are higher than ever, but half our kids are not reading or performing in math at grade level. Texas is producing high-opportunity, high-demand careers but many of our children will never achieve these jobs’ basic qualifications.
