More than 4,800 local high school seniors walked down aisles and across stages to accept their diplomas this month.
Most of them by now have probably made the decision of what comes next: college or no college?
If
all goes according to former Gov. John Kitzhaber's plan to boost
economic prosperity in Oregon, all of those graduates eventually will
fall into one of three categories.
According to a statewide goal,
by 2025, 40 percent of working-age Oregonians will have at least a
bachelor's degree, another 40 percent will have an associate degree or
certificate, and the remaining 20 percent will have a high school
diploma. As it stands, numbers obtained by the Oregon Education
Investment Board through U.S. Census data are far from 40-40-20.
