| College Ready New England |
About College Ready New England
The College Ready New England initiative (CRNE) resulted from two and a half years of regional discussions and work groups involving K-12, higher education, government, business and non-profit leaders in New England. Through CRNE, New England leaders are committed to developing strategies for leveraging their collective influence to strengthen P-20 education policymaking at the state, regional and national levels. The goal: create a regional network through which best practices and policy innovations could be shared.
Individually and collectively, the New England states face critical human capital challenges, each with important implications for quality of life in the region. Aging populations, growing numbers of immigrants, the continued flight of manufacturing jobs and the competitiveness of the knowledge economy all combine to make postsecondary education more critical than ever—for individuals and for New England as a whole.
The region has one of the world’s largest concentrations of postsecondary institutions and ranks high in terms of levels of educational attainment. Yet increasing numbers of New Englanders, many of them immigrants or minorities, fail to complete high school and prepare for, access or attain adequate postsecondary education.
For businesses in the New England states and region, their demand for skilled workers often goes unmet during periods of growth, curtailing opportunities for expansion and increasing incentives for businesses to relocate outside New England. In short, producing and retaining skilled, college-educated workers is more important than ever to the success of New England’s economy.
