considerable increase in the availability of non-credit courses in postsecondary education. Despite non-credit programs being described as having a potential for addressing educational parity, information such as academic results and the categories of students enrolled is quite scant (Xu & Ran, 2015).
Effects of Non-Credit Programs
The results of non-credit programs will vary due to various factors such as: enrolment patterns, institutional demands, and requirements of businesses and industry. Future employment and workforce training are significantly impacted by these programs. The overall college planning system or a funding structure involving an admission strategy for credit are also factors that… Continue Reading...

CURRENT DROPOUT RATES IN THE NATION’S PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS
While each of the 50 states has its own constitutional language and mission for its public schools, it is reasonable to posit that these missions are unachievable when students leave the school systems altogether before they complete their studies. According to researchers with the National Center for Education Statistics, millions of young people are dropping out of American high schools and far too many fail to secure their general educational equivalency credential, dooming… Continue Reading...
colleges to adjust structures, processes, and practices at their institutions if the fairly new collaboration between secondary and postsecondary education is to yield the desired outcomes.
Introduction
Community colleges have historically played a significant role in expanding access to higher education in the U.S. In the past one decade or so, the colleges have sought to increase access to post-secondary education even more by partnering with secondary schools to enable high school students enrol in college courses while still attending high school (An, 2015). This has resulted in what is referred to as dual enrolment (Pretlow & Patteson, 2015). Dual enrolment programs ease the transition from high school… Continue Reading...
that young adults who have a record of criminality often prefer a school environment which provides adults with the normal secondary education. The "Youth Solidarity" program, which is a form of social welfare program for people up to 24 years, released a report which showed that among the clients on their list, over 59% of the younger adults preferred the adult sector to others for furthering their education. Several studies have discovered that transition programs such as the TIP (transition to independence process) scheme and its rules are very effective. Every single one of them indicated general improvements for the young men and women who went through the TIP scheme… Continue Reading...

supporting secondary education for local citizens aided the retailer in overcoming the remaining regional opposition to consumerism and retail chains in general. It persevered to preserve the disappearing traditional American principles of altruistic Christian domesticity. The author presents a rather compelling account, although a few idiosyncrasies do accompany it. For instance, it appears strange that Moreton calls Arkansas a "Sun Belt" area, which is a stretch, apparently endeavoring to link Walmart's growth to changes in demography, and the explosive growth in the nation's "Sand States." Throughout, the author has made use… Continue Reading...
slated to attend college in the fall. The summer before he was to begin his post secondary education, he was caught on video camera pilfering some items from a gas station. Allegedly, the employee working at the time was intimidated by Brownpossibly due to his size or, perhaps, his race. Regardless, the employee was justified in calling the police about what amounted to petty theft (McLaughlin, 2014). Police officers pursued Brown and were supposedly unable to apprehend him immediately. Therefore, despite the fact that Brown was unarmed and grappling against a police officer with a bullet proof vest, firearm and, most importantly immediate access to virtually… Continue Reading...
life and only prepared academically. Students whose credits are refused by their preferred college are likely to not further their postsecondary education or they are forced to undertake the same course again. This demonstrates the lack of standardization on the offerings of dual credit courses that should be looked into to ensure that no institution would reject a student’s credits. Standardization would also benefit the students since they would be encouraged to pursue courses that would… Continue Reading...
