IN.GOV  \nINDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2021- INTRODUCTION  \nIndiana’s College-Going Rate Continues  \nDownward Slide  \n2019 college readiness data highlight persistent challenges  \nIndiana’s college-going rate is at its lowest point in more than 10 years.  \nA caveat, before diving deeper: The data presented in this 2021 College Readiness Report isabout the 2019 high school graduating class. This means the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indiana’s college-going rate is not measured here.  \nIn 2019, 59 percent of high school graduates in Indiana went on to some form of higher learning (a two-or four-year degree, or a shorter-term credential) . This is a drop from 61 percent in 2018. Indiana’s college-going rate has been steadily declining since 2015 (65 percent), but this is the largest drop year-to-year.  \n(Visit the Commission’s online, interactive dashboard for quick comparisons to past data at the corporation, county, school and state level.)  \nThe pandemic exacerbated many of the challenges facing higher education in Indiana—declining college-going rates, widening equity gaps, the persistent questioning of the value of higher education—all now compounded by issues of learning loss and economic upheaval. Next  \nyear’s iteration of this report could show continued decline, as fall enrollment across Indiana’s four-year public colleges was down about 4 percent and two-year enrollment was down 13 percent in 2020.  \nThis is serious. Indiana will not reach its big goal—that at least 60 percent of Hoosiers have a quality credential beyond high school by 2025—and will not be able to fill its workforce pipeline needs without students attending college.  \nPreviously, a strong economy was identified as a reason for fewer Hoosiers going into college. However, the ongoing attitude that a college degree doesn’t hold value for Hoosiers is a contributing factor that cannot be overlooked.  \nAlso of concern is an increasing number of high school graduation waivers being awarded. Nearly 1 in 8 students in the class of 2019 was awarded a graduation waiver diploma. This is the highest number in at least 15 years and a significant jump in one year (9 .2 percent in 2018 to 12.4 percent in 2019) . Completing high school with a graduation waiver demonstrates students  \nPG // 2 INDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2021  \nINDIANA COLLEGE READINESS REPORT 2021- INTRODUCTION  \nare less prepared for postsecondary education than those who earn other diploma types. While there are numerous reasons students may be given a waiver, this sharp uptick is cause for further investigation.  \nThere are also positive stories to tell: The state’s 21st Century Scholars program is the only group that has made positive gains in college-going rates, going from 86 percent in 2018 to 88 percent in 2019. 21st Century Scholars are closing the achievement gap and closing it for every low-income student by race and ethnicity. Other positives include continuing low remediation rates, and more students are seeking shorter-term credentials than ever before.  \nThis report provides a pre-pandemic baseline for  \nconsideration, as we continue to grasp the full impact of  \nthe pandemic. However, our eyes must remain on the future so we can determine the best path  \nforward.  \nSeveral recommendations are outlined at the end of this report that are aligned to the policies and strategies highlighted in the Commission’s strategic plan, Reaching Higher in a State of Change. The Commission remains committed to proving the value of higher education and making the pathway as accessible and affordable as possible for all.  \nA differentiating factor for Hoosiers in the immediate economic aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic was educational attainment. Those with quality credentials were less likely to be unemployed. Education beyond high school remains one of the surest paths to economic mobility and personal prosperity and provides Indiana ","cbCaiaVOccFwTV7C","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaVOccFwTV7C","pdf",3138963,18,"English","# Indiana’s College-Going Rate Continues Downward Slide\n## Data Scope and COVID-19 Caveat\n## Key Challenges and Workforce Implications\n## Graduation Waivers and Preparation Concerns\n## Positive Trends and Program Gains\n# 2021 College Readiness Report Key Takeaways\n## Completion\n## Equity","[{\"question\":\"What does the report cover, and what is the COVID-19 data caveat?\",\"answer\":\"The report uses 2019 high school graduating class outcomes as a pre-pandemic baseline.
