Reforming Ohio's Education System For the 21st Century

Throughout the past two years we have talked with citizens across Ohio, including parents, educators, students, researchers, and business and community leaders about the future of Ohio's education system. Many of you have been involved in this process, and we would like to thank you for your input and partnership.

It has become clear that simply tinkering with centuries-old education practices will not prepare Ohio's children for success in college, for success in the workplace, or for success in life. Our education system must be student centered. We must teach to each individual student's needs and recognize that this is the surest path to seeing our young people reach their full potential. This must be balanced with a system that is transparent and accountable and our funding must provide the resources for our reforms. We must make bold changes for the 21st century.

On this website you will find information on the Governor's plan for reforming Ohio's education system for the 21st century. With this plan, Ohio will graduate students ready to succeed in the modern economy and in modern life. Future generations will look back gratefully and say that when we came together on education, we claimed this new century for Ohio.
