Description

State Council of Higher Education; postsecondary education and employment data. Requires the State Council of Higher Education to contract with private entities to create de-identified student records for the purpose of assessing (i) the performance of institutions and specific programs relative to the workforce needs of the Commonwealth, (ii) rates of enrollment in remedial coursework, (iii) individual student credit accumulation, (iv) rates of postsecondary degree completion, and (v) any other information that the Council determines is necessary to address adequate preparation for success in postsecondary education and alignment between secondary and postsecondary education. Current law allows the Council to contract with private entities to create de-identified student records for the purpose of assessing the performance of institutions and specific programs relative to workforce needs. The bill also requires (a) the Council to disseminate postsecondary education and employment data to each public secondary school and each institution of higher education in the Commonwealth and (b) each of these institutions to provide its students and their parents with the opportunity to view a copy of the education and employment data received from the Council.
