Reducing Remedial Education:
What Progress are States Making?
By Ansley A. Abraham and Joseph D. Creech

| There is no "typical" remedial student. Students enrolled in
remedial courses usually have been out of high school for at least a year
or have ust graduated from high school but didn't take a math course their
senior year. The key to reducing college-level remedial education is
developing policies and practices that reflect an understanding of who
needs remedial education and why. This report highlights steps that SREB
states are taking or should take to reduce the need for remedial courses
in college. |
