Education Forum in Hibbing

Preparing a world class workforce: How can Minnesota students achieve better outcomes in the K-12 system? Learn about the Minnesota Chamber's recommendations and provide your feedback!

Tuesday, September 14 at 8:00 a.m. at the Hibbing Park Hotel/Grandma's in the Park

Minnesota does pretty well nationally. But the numbers behind the statistics are not quite as positive - and Minnesota employers have known this for a long time. Only 73 percent of Minnesota seniors graduated on time in 2007. MnSCU reports that nearly 40% of students need remedial learning; and Minnesota has the second highest achievement gap in the country.

Join us for a discussion addressing necessary education reforms that will improve the quality of our future workforce by addressing ways to close the achievement gap, and improve student outcomes including high quality teachers; and learn about ways that your voice can be heard to make these changes.
