It will involve changing policy, perspective, and practice to expand opportunity by better serving current students so they can complete their credentials and degrees, better recruiting high school students, and better reaching additional populations of potential students.  \nStrategies to Meet the State Goal  \nThis playbook, created by Complete College America (CCA) and The Campaign for College Opportunity, provides an overview of where California stands in relation to its ambitious attainment goal and outlines specific strategies the state can implement and scale to meet the  \n70 percent goal by 2030. The playbook builds on focus areas established by the governor and legislature in multiyear compacts with the  University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) and a multiyear roadmap with California Community Colleges (CCC) .  \nThe strategies include the CCA Core Strategies, which are part of CCA’s four  Pillars of Tra","cbCainDkkGAlVjeI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainDkkGAlVjeI","pdf",5362744,64,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Increasing Postsecondary Education Attainment to Meet the Needs of California and Its Residents\n# About California Public Postsecondary Undergraduate Education\n# Overview of Current Postsecondary Attainment in California\n# Strategies to Meet the State Goal\n# Improving Intersegmental Collaboration and Standardization to Benefit Students\n# Expanding Access to Public Postsecondary Institutions\n# Increasing the Affordability of Higher Education\n# Supporting Workforce Preparedness and High-Demand Career Pipelines\n# Funding for Transformational Change\n# Using Metrics to Drive Action\n# Conclusion\n# Appendix A: Closer Look at the California Public Postsecondary Undergraduate Education Systems\n# Appendix B: Metrics Associated With the Strategies\n# Endnotes","[{\"question\":\"What is California’s postsecondary attainment goal mentioned in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that California set a goal of 70 percent postsecondary attainment by 2030 through the FY 2023 budget.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report argue that California must restructure higher education?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that reaching the goal requires changing the system so students can complete credentials and degrees, alongside improvements in recruitment and serving additional populations of potential students.\"},{\"question\":\"What role do compacts, roadmaps, and intersegmental collaboration play?\",\"answer\":\"The report notes that existing compacts and roadmaps call for collaboration on certain issues, but do not update the master plan or create a formal collaboration structure; it then describes steps such as updating the master plan and building a coordinating body to support shared decisionmaking and partnership across segments and workforce partners.\"}]","Set Up to Succeed - Meeting California’s Postsecondary Education Attainment Goal | PDF",1792046588,161]
