For Oklahoma's public education system to graduate successful students in today's technology-driven, knowledge-based global economy, the state must increase its investment in its schools, colleges and universities. But increased investment alone is not sufficient—if Oklahoma is to become an economic leader, it must dramatically update its public education system offer curricula designed to ensure that graduating students are prepared to be successful in the ever-changing global economy, beginning college students will take fewer remedial classes, more students will graduate from high school and college, public funds will be spent so as to maximize student learning, and the citizens of Oklahoma will have access to clear measures of accountability for the state's primary, secondary and post-secondary schools.
