Goal 1:
To be a Learning Enterprise in which all Louisiana
businesses, institutions and citizens are actively
engaged in the pursuit of knowledge

Objective
1.2 - To
improve the reading and math skills of every
student by high school graduation |
 |
| |
For
most of the last century Louisiana has lagged
other southern states and the nation as a whole
in various measures of student achievement.
In order to make Louisiana’s workforce
fully competitive, to increase participation
in postsecondary education, and to foster a
statewide climate of intellectual engagement,
every high school student must be able to read
and compute at higher levels. |
