College-Completion Campaign Opens With Forum in Maryland

Chronicle of Higher Education

February 1, 2011

Monday's event was sponsored by the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center in collaboration with the National Conference of State Legislatures. The main goal of the campaign is to increase the proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds who hold an associate degree or higher to 55 percent by 2025, up from 41.6 percent in 2008. That would make the United States the world leader in educational attainment, said the campaign's leaders, who include officials from state governments and elementary, secondary, and higher education.
