Nearly 10 million college students are enrolled in distance education courses, with just under half completing all of their coursework online. The majority of these learners, approximately 8.4 million, are undergraduates, and 7.4 million attend four-year public institutions. As online education continues to expand, it is clear that virtual learning is becoming a dominant force in higher education, offering greater flexibility and accessibility for students across the country. #highered #onlineeducation https://lnkd.in/dnBTiksY

About us
The Hunt Institute is a strategic catalyst for transforming public education and securing our country’s future. Using our depth and breadth of knowledge, we bring together the right people and resources to facilitate critical dialogue and mobilize action on the issues that matter in education. Established in 2001, The Institute honors the legacy of James B. Hunt, Jr., the former governor of North Carolina who distinguished himself as an ardent champion of education. That work continues in earnest today. Our mandate: to inspire elected officials and key policymakers to make informed decisions that result in improving the lives of all children through quality education. In 2016, the Institute became an independent, nonprofit entity and joined forces with Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy to pursue research, educational partnerships and events related to improving education policy.

High school students are looking at the prospect of college more skeptically, and a large part of their hesitation comes from worry about taking on thousands of dollars in student loans. In 2024, Across 1,800 public colleges and universities, the average full-price cost of attendance clocked in at about $17,300 per year. Factoring in students’ grants and scholarships, it fell to a net average cost of $10,200. https://lnkd.in/ggF9mmuY

While teacher morale remains a challenge, principals have the opportunity to make a positive impact. Strong leadership can enhance teacher well-being by acknowledging their efforts, offering substantial support, and managing workloads effectively. By cultivating a positive school culture and providing meaningful professional development, principals can foster increased teacher satisfaction and performance. Carnegie Corporation of New York

Effective collaboration between parents and teachers is crucial for a child's academic success. To ensure alignment, parents should consider discussing the following key points with their child's teacher: Are high expectations set for students, and are they supported in achieving them? Is student behavior addressed consistently and fairly? Are various communication methods utilized to report student progress and needs? How can we work together to develop a cooperative approach that supports my child's growth? Carnegie Corporation of New York

During this back-to-school and upcoming election season, focusing on school safety and literacy is crucial. Education leaders should align long-term goals with voter values to ensure students have quality teachers and a safe learning environment. Great read from The Hunt Institute President and CEO, Javaid Siddiqi, and former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise. #EdPolicy #SchoolSafety #StudentSuccess

2019 was a year to be remembered. While COVID-19 was the topic of discussion, for the first time in history more than half of the nation’s population under 16 identified as a racial or ethnic minority. As demographics shift in urban centers across the country, the relevance of factors like linguistic and cultural diversity are becoming more important in our national teacher workforce. According to Census data Latino or Hispanic, Asian American, and Black populations grew by rates of 20 percent, 29 percent, and 8.5 percent, respectively. Join us on 8/27 for a #RaceAndEducation webinar that will explore what it is like to live on the margins as we celebrate the differences of our communities of color and discuss solutions that will help increase educator diversity.
