IN.GOV  \nINDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2020- INTRODUCTION  \nHoosiers Are Better Prepared for Life After High School, but Fewer Students are Pursuing Higher Learning  \nIndiana is preparing learners for tomorrow.  \nThe Commission’s 2020 College Readiness Reports show the following:  \n• Most Hoosiers earn college credit while still in high school  \n• Students continue to need less remediation than ever before  \n• College freshman grade point averages are going up, particularly for Black and Hispanic Hoosiers  \n• Efforts to increase educational equity – including strengthening the 21st Century Scholars program – are making a positive impact  \nHowever, there is no sugarcoating the fact that fewer students are going to college in Indiana than four years ago: 61 percent today, compared to 65 percent (2018 graduates to 2015 graduates) .  \nEducation beyond high school is more important than ever and this decrease calls us to urgent action. College—including everything from a short-term workforce certificate to a four-year degree—is one of the best investments Hoosiers can make for themselves and for the state’s economy.  \nAnd the economy offers some important context about college-going rates. As is the case across the nation, when the economy is strong, more high school graduates go directly into the job market. Until recently, Indiana’s unemployment rate was at a record low, and the college-going rate mirrored that pattern by declining.  \nWe not only expect this to change, we know this will change as Indiana feels the lasting impact of financial market turbulence, economic disruption and growing unemployment due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.  \nThe Commission’s fourth strategic plan, Reaching Higher in a State of Change, was written with change in mind. And though we might not have anticipated this specific drastic change due to COVID-19, the Commission’s focus on preparing Hoosier learners for a rapidly changing economy and workforce has not wavered.  \nPG // 2 INDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2020  \nINDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2020- INTRODUCTION  \nDuring times of economic upheaval and recession, more people seek a pathway that provides greater economic security. Some go back to college to gain new skills and others make decisions to start a new educational journey. Providing opportunity for all Hoosiers to pursue the path of higher learning is one of the most important ways we can move Hoosiers and the state forward.  \nEncouragingly, while statewide college-going rates have declined, the college-going rate for 21st Century Scholars has remained high at 86% . The 21st Century Scholars program is again a silver lining amidst other sobering realities.  \nAt a time when we know more Hoosiers will be seeking higher education opportunities, we must ensure those choices are affordable. Indiana has been proactive in this measure by encouraging more students to earn early college credit, saving them time and money. The state also offers generous financial aid to students – about $370 million annually.  \nThe Commission has focused on keeping tuition increases low by recommending tuition and fee targets for the state’s postsecondary institutions for a number of years. Indiana is now third-lowest in the nation for tuition increases in a 10-year period for bachelor’s degrees. The state’s two-year degree tuition historical increase is also lower than the national average.  \nWhile the Commission has focused on making postsecondary data public for over a decade, as outlined in Reaching Higher in a State of Change, our goal is to make this data more accessible and helpful for communities, school districts, educators and counselors, as well as Hoosier students and families.  \nI encourage readers to visit the Commission’s website and review all of our data reports to make the most informed education choices [possible: www.che.in.gov/reports](possible: www.che.in.gov/reports)  \nAt th","cbCailYdYgBX7qkB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailYdYgBX7qkB","pdf",2684477,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Key Takeaways: Completion\n## Key Takeaways: Equity","[{\"question\":\"What does the report say about college-going rates in Indiana?\",\"answer\":\"Fewer students are going to college than four years ago: 61% today versus 65% for the comparison group of 2015 and 2018 graduates.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the 21st Century Scholars program perform compared with overall trends?\",\"answer\":\"While statewide college-going declines, the 21st Century Scholars college-going rate remains high at 86%, with scholars from the Class of 2017 and 2018 going directly to college.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps does the report highlight to improve access and affordability?\",\"answer\":\"Indiana encourages early college credit, provides generous financial aid (about $370 million annually), and focuses on keeping tuition increases low through tuition and fee targets.\"}]","INDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2020 - Introduction | PDF",1792051471,35]
