GA’s Technical Colleges Approve Plan to Boost Grads
ATLANTA — The Technical College System of Georgia has approved an agreement with the state university system to help increase the number of students who finish college.
The technical college board OK'd the "Complete College Georgia" initiative during a meeting Thursday to address statistics showing that only 42 percent of adults in the state have some kind of education past high school.
The plan calls for more cooperation between the University System of Georgia and the Technical College System of Georgia. It also will focus on helping Georgia's public schools produce more college-ready graduates.
The plan will now be presented to the governor's office. It is part of a $1 million grant Georgia received in August from the Complete College America Foundation.
