State Looking To Reduce Costs Of Remedial Courses
Kentucky moved a step closer yesterday to adopting a statewide policy to reduce the states costly need for remedial education of students who are unprepared for college courses. A special committee appointed by the state Council on Postsecondary Education reviewed a draft version of recommendations that the panel is scheduled to approve on Jan. 8. The council's developmental education task force has come up with nearly 40 initiatives to address seven major problems in remedial education. Currently, 53 percent of first-year students at the state's public universities and community and technical colleges have to take one or more remedial courses.
