About the Program
Improving student outcomes requires a better understanding of how students advance from K–12 schools through college and into the workforce—and where they falter. Yet California trails behind other states in establishing a student data system that can answer key questions about the educational pipeline and the impact of education on work and earnings. Research fellow Jacob Jackson will summarize PPIC’s recommendations for an integrated data system, and a panel of experts will discuss the opportunities and challenges involved in establishing such a system.
This event is supported with funding from the PPIC Corporate Circle and the PPIC Donor Circle. This research was supported with funding from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Sutton Family Fund.
