The 2021 edition of the Statistical Abstract marks the 43rd year of this valuable publication.  \nThis Abstract includes the most recent statistics on enrollment, degrees awarded, faculty, tuition and fees, funding, and other factual data. Relevant terminology is listed in the introduction to each section.  \nAdditionally , included is this Abstract is the Public Agenda Implementation Plan, Ascend 60X30 which serves as CHE’s strategic blueprint to achieve the larger goals for the state’s system of higher education, as established in the 2017 Public Agenda. It encompasses initiatives to reach the primary goal of increasing higher education attainment rates from 48 percent in 2020 to 60 percent by 2030.  \nThe Abstract would not have been possible without the assistance of the college and university institutional representatives’ completion of data for CHE reports and the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) . The help and support of these individuals is extremely important to the CHE’s data collection process. Their assistance is greatly appreciated.  \nRusty Monhollon, Ph.D.  \nPresident & Executive Director  \nPublic Agenda Implementation Plan (ASCEND 60X30)  \nThe South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) approved a statewide public agenda for higher education in 2017, identifying abroad set of aspirational goals and objectives for the state’s system of higher education. In 2020, CHE convened the South Carolina Higher Education Advisory Committee (HEAC) to further develop recommendations for this statewide public agenda. Based on the work of the HEAC, CHE established strategic timelines and milestones, identified necessary staff and fiscal resources, and developed processes for engaging stakeholders in pursuit of public agenda objectives.  \nThe resulting Public Agenda Implementation Plan, ASCEND 60 X 30, serves a strategic blueprint to guide Commissioners and CHE staff. It remains faithful to the objectives in the 2017 Public Agenda while reflecting the current status of higher education in South Carolina. Supporting CHE workplans for each initiative or project include timelines, milestones, and target metrics to gauge agency progress and to hold staff accountable to achieving the larger goals established in the public agenda.  \nThe Big Goals  \nTwo overarching objectives provide form and structure in the pursuit of the Public Agenda. The first: increase the proportion of South Carolinians with high-quality postsecondary credentials to 60 percent by 2030. South Carolina’s education attainment rate was 46.8 percent in 2020, nationally ranking 42nd and below the 51.3 percent national average, according to the Lumina Foundation’s annual report on national educational attainment.
