A high school diploma is no longer enough; now, nearly every good
job requires some education beyond high school ± such as an
associate¶s or bachelor¶s degree, certificate, license, or completion
of an apprenticeship or significant on-the-job training.
Far too many students drop out or graduate from high school
without the knowledge and skills required for success, closing doors
and limiting their post-high school options and opportunities.
The best way to prepare students for life after high school is to alignK-12 and postsecondary expectations. All students deserve a world-
class education that prepares them for college, careers and life.
Why College- and Career-Ready
Expectations for All?

Matt er of Deg r ees: Tomorrow¶ s Fast est Grow ing Jobs and Why Community College Graduat es Wi ll Get Them. TheNew Democratic Leadership Council.
Delaware should be preparing students for the jobs of
tomorrow, not the jobs of yesterday ± or even today.
A quarter of American workers are now in jobs not even listed in the
Census Bureau¶s occupation codes in 1967.
Given the growth of new job sectors ± most notably ³green jobs´ ± it is
common sense to provide all students with a strong foundation that
keeps all doors open and all opportunities available in the future.

The Public Agrees That Education or
Training Beyond High School
is Necessary for Future Success

To really get ahead in life, a
person needs at least some
education beyond high
school, whether that means
university, community
college, technical or vocational school.

life, a person needs more
than just a high school
