Revision as of 14:46, 15 September 2006
The formation of a Commission on the Future of Higher Education, also known as the Spellings Commission, was announced on September 19, 2005 by U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. The Commission is charged with recommending a national strategy for reforming post-secondary education, with a particular focus on how well colleges and universities were preparing students for the 21st-century workplace, and a secondary focus on how well high schools were preparing students for post-secondary education. In its Report, scheduled for official release on September 26, 2006, the Commission focuses on the areas of access and affordability (particularly for non-traditional students), the standard of quality in instruction, and the accountability of institutions of higher learning to their constituencies (most particularly students and their families, taxpayers, and others who might be regarded as investors in the system).
