The line that separates the well educated from the poorly educated is one of the harshest dividers of all. That is why it is not enough that we have diversity as a single goal. That would be a hollow victory indeed, unless the schools are equipped to produce the kind of academically prepared graduates who can compete in the market place. This is an absolutely critical factor in fashioning educational policy in the future. We owe it to all those who fought so long for access to make certain that we do not forsake quality.
Effective education is the key to economic success.
