While Vermont has made real gains to increase postsecondary attainment in recent years, much work is left to be done. We have to ensure that Vters see and are able to pursue a career and education pathway that helps them met their goals. #vtpoli #vted

This is important data on declining postsecondary aspirations from @VSAC. Related: @GeorgetownCEW's latest report notes #VT as 1 of 4 states (+ DC) with the highest % of jobs in 2031 that will require a bachelor's degree. It's time to make postsecondary education the easy choice.
VSAC's Senior Survey report reveals longstanding effects of the COVID pandemic, and that interest in pursuing education beyond high school has dropped significantly among Vermont seniors (with the greatest decrease among first-generation students). vtdigger.org/2023/12/19/pand…

All students deserve a chance at postsecondary education, regardless of their background or income. Kudos to @CommonApp for making a clear commitment to expand the population they serve and create more pathways to access and opportunity.
Common App is entering its Next Chapter, a commitment to working with members, high school counselors and advisors, and other key partners to support more than 650,000 additional applicants from low- and middle-income households per year.
