ABSTRACTPrepared by the California Business Roundtable to
help mobilize public and practice action in California, this report
offers a vision for a comprehensive education and training system
suited to the 21st century and proposes goals and strategies for its
implementation. The report provides a framework for viewing K-12education, community colleges, the University of California, theCalifornia State University, other postsecondary institutions, andjob training programs as part of a single system that should beclosely linked to employment. The first section of the reportoutlines the educational and economic problems currently facing
California, including the lack of a coordinated education andtraining system, the failure of reform to keep pace with the need for
change, and the insufficient involvement of education in economic
restructuring. The next section presents a vision of a seamlesssystem of lifelong education and training that offers everyCalifornian the opportunity to learn basic skills and habits of mind
that are the foundation for successful careers and full participation
in our society. Next, three goals and related strategies are set
forth: (1) create a coherent education and training system byestablishing an education and economic development council, a
legislative master plan, an infrastructure of certificates and
degrees, organized adult basic education, and a system of one-stop
services; (2) upgrade education and training to world-class standards
by setting standards, shifting to performance-based accountability,
accelerating K-12 reform, innovating at community colleges, and
integrating technology for learning; and (3) mobilize higher
education and generate resources to support a business shift to high
skills and high wages. The final section offers a summary of goals,
strategies, and policy options. (AC)
