Gov. JB Pritzker calls for setting new higher education attainment goals – Capitol News IL

In its biennial report, the nonpartisan research and advocacy group Advance Illinois reported that as of 2023, only about 57.4 percent of adults had finished a degree or credential program. That was still a significant improvement from 41 percent in 2008. In his executive order Friday, however, Pritzker cited workforce projections that indicate by 2031, more than 70 percent of all jobs will require education or training beyond high school.

I assume 100% of jobs will require education or training beyond high school.

What JB should be focusing on is improving basic education instead of schools indoctrinating students. IL public schools are failing to educate students and he just lowered the goal posts for academic proficiency. IL students can’t get into college because they can’t read or do math at grade level. That’s the problem.

Students will now be required to memorize the whole alphabet to graduate high school.
