Education for All: What It Takes to Get There

Shouldn’t a quality education and the opportunities it affords be available to every interested learner, no matter where they’re coming from?

In the white paper, “Education for All: What It Takes to Get There,” McGraw Hill addresses this question by offering fresh insights into how institutions can better understand the individual student and provide that student with resources to achieve their academic goals.

This is a critical issue – the reality remains, education is still only accessible to some, while others are left behind. Indeed, 98% of institutions acknowledge the problem, 56% of which have looked for solutions, yet only 2% have made any real progress.

McGraw Hill talked to instructors, students, administrators, and academic experts across the country to see where we currently stand, what can help us overcome challenges, and how institutions can leverage effective practices and technology to shift momentum in the right direction.

Our white paper introduces the Success in Higher Education Framework that covers three key areas all institutions should consider in the pursuit of progress toward an Education for All:

• Access and Achievement
• Being and Belonging
• Cause and Career

When an institution takes all three areas into account, it can see needs that may be currently underserved and begin to craft actionable steps to address them. By looking holistically at the factors that impact a learner’s drive and success, institutions can take the totality of the student’s experience into account and move beyond an education for some, to an education for all.
