States Push Remedial Education to Community Colleges

January 17, 2012

((Excerpt))

More than 60 percent of first-year students at Dayton, Ohio’s Wright State University aren’t ready for college-level reading, writing, or math. Starting in fall 2012, Wright State will send most “developmental education” students to nearby Clark State Community College or Sinclair Community College.

Ohio will stop funding most remedial university classes by 2014. Statewide, that will affect more than a third of first-year students.
