Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education (GPEE) recently released their report listing the top ten issues to watch in 2022. The report highlights the lasting effects of the pandemic on education, especially for Georgia’s most vulnerable populations including students of color, low-income youth, rural residents, workers lacking postsecondary training, and adults caring for children and elders. GPEE is focusing on equity as the state recovers from the pandemic, and the list of ten issues to watch serves as a starting point for GPEE’s goal of ensuring 65% of GA’s residents aged 25-64 will hold a postsecondary credential by 2032. The ten issues are:
- Equity – Shifting Mindset and Strategy
- Unfinished Instruction – Equity through Acceleration
- Non-Academic Barriers – The School’s Role
- Improving School Culture – The Imperative of School Leaders
- Funding – School Transformation on a Deadline
- Accountability – What’s the Future?
- Early Learning – Protecting Investments in Early Learners
- Revamping the Teaching Profession – A New Moonshot
- Workforce Readiness – A Strategy that Pays Off
- Rural Transformation – From the Inside Out
