New York Times Op-Ed
In the final Race to the Top Guidelines, the U.S. Department of Education has included a requirement that states concrete plan, with ambitious yet achievable goals, for “increasing college enrollment…and increasing the number of students who complete at least a year’s worth of college credit that is applicable to a degree within two years…”
