Economic Analysis of Remedial Education and How it...

INTRODUCTION Education is an important part of one’s life. It can shape a student’s identity, challenge his biases, and encourage him to be inquisitorial and entrepreneurial in his thinking. Education can also push a student through institutions only to ascertain that he meets some minimum standard. Modern day high schools are graduating students in record numbers (Richmond 2013) , but the prevalence of remediation in higher education illustrates the structural failure of American public schools to effectively, adequately, and equitably educate students, especially indigent student populations (Strong American Schools). As such, this issue requires serious public policy consideration.

Remedial course credit does not â€Å"count toward diploma requirements† and only about 25% of remedial students in Georgia â€Å"earn a bachelor’s degree within six years.† Some, like Representative Earl Erhart, head of the Georgia House committee that oversees college budgets, do not sugar coat the situation. Ehrhart said, ...college has become a continuation of the K-12 education [these students] never received, and that is not what a college education is supposed to be.
