Accountability System - Goal 1: Student Preparation

Does California foster reasonable and equitable opportunities for individuals to enter college prepared to succeed in higher education?

California's Master Plan for Higher Education envisioned a system of higher education open to all Californians. At the statewide level, this is a commitment to provide educational choice and opportunity for all qualified students. Therefore, this goal must be placed in a context of academic preparedness, with measurable outcomes focused on the responsibilities of higher education, rather than based on perceived or actual shortcomings of California's K-12 system. It should also recognize the critical role of transfer, the division of labor in California higher education, and the ability to use technology to enhance efficiency.
