On April 2, 2009, the Higher Education Study Committee, which was authorized by the General Assembly in 2007 to recommend a statewide strategic plan for higher education, released its final report. The Committee’s work represents the culmination of efforts that have involved dozens of committed citizens representing education, government, business, and industry who have committed thousands of thoughtful hours in considering what the collective goals of our higher education system should be and what strategies might be pursued to attain them.
The Action Plan Implementation outlines four goals (listed below) for higher education and provides clear direction through a series of specific strategies and recommendations to ensure the future success and competitiveness of South Carolina.
- Goal 1: Making South Carolina One of the Most Educated States
- Goal 2: Increasing Research and Innovation in South Carolina
- Goal 3: Increasing Workforce Training and Educational Services in South Carolina
- Goal 4: Realizing South Carolina’s Potential Resources and Effectiveness
