This is the vision expressed by Matt Gandal, president and CEO of Education Strategy Group: "every student deserves a clear pathway to a bright future, with preparation for education and training after high school. Students deserve to reach their potential in fulfilling careers that can support themselves and their families." According to Gandal, "If we want to address the challenges and inequities faced by students and the ongoing needs of employers and communities, we must deliver on a concept that has gained substantial momentum in recent years: education-to-workforce pathways." My question is: will streaming students into the workforce address the equity issues that face people today? Probably not: it sets them up for failure later on when the job they trained for specifically fades out of existence, while not addressing at all the real causes of inequity in society.
