Abstract

A collaboration of Arkansas citizens and SEF, this report finds the state's education system does not equally prepare all students for higher education, which is essential to success in today's skills-driven economy. Despite Arkansas' improved educational policies and practices, low income and African American students who need the most help are the least well served. The report challenges policy makers to expand the state's economic growth by adequately funding and extending its educational reforms for the benefit of all students
