Report card shows Texas colleges have some work to do

In a July 2012 article from the Daily Texan, author Bobby Blanchard says that Texas' higher education system received only an average grade when it comes to student performance and a failing grade in its openness to accept higher education providers according to a recent report by the Institute for a Competitive Workforce in a June study by Leader & Laggards (although above average grades were given to many other of the main categories.) The study's conclusion was composed of letter grades to rate components of higher education in Texas. Although the failing grade in its openness to accept higher education providers is not as dire, the average performance in student performance needs to improve. Not only is public education K-12 in Texas of lower quality, but now higher education is struggling? I completely agree with the article, we need provide better methods to improve education at all levels in order to provide for a better workforce in Texas. If we decide to improve this statistic, it will better Texas overall for the future.
