Post Secondary Education
Abstract
Education has been an important part of the United States history. In the 17th century, the Puritans insisted that each town create a school. Thomas Jefferson advocated the idea that a democratic society needs educated residents. Education reform dates back to the 1800s when there was an increased demand for skilled workers. Education reformers have recently been pushing to provide educational opportunities for all citizens. It is documented that an educated citizenry is needed to help society thrive and improve social mobility, economic growth, and equity (Unauthored, 2010).
