The document discusses issues with college graduation rates and the need to better engage and support students. It notes that graduation rates are lowest at two-year community colleges at 12% and highest at private four-year colleges at 56%. Nearly 30% of freshmen leave college in their first year. 50% of students in two-year colleges and 20% in four-year universities require remedial classes, which don't work. There is a need for co-requisite classes and additional support to help more students graduate. Teachers are seen as part of the solution to improving education.
