Warner in the Education Spotlight

Governor Warner was on NPR’s All Things Considered this afternoon, talking about education, the issue he is leading as Chairman of the National Governors’ Association.

He emphasized “career and technical education” for non-college bound students and insisted that the Governors were looking for real solutions: “We don’t need another study that sits on the shelf.”

Commonwealth Commonsense had the statistics on high school outcomes a few days ago. Gov. Warner and his cohorts don’t just need to set up “career and technical education” programs; they need to convince parents that these programs are viable options to college.
