A Facebook post said Mississippi kids are learning more than ever before and are graduating into an economy where good jobs are plentiful.
The post said the author is looking forward to joining One Nation with Brian Kilmeade tomorrow night. One Nation is a national television program hosted by Brian Kilmeade that features interviews with public officials and newsmakers.
The assertion reflects wider attention in the state on education and workforce development. Education leaders and policymakers have in recent years emphasized improving classroom outcomes, expanding career and technical training and aligning school programs with employer needs.
Improved student learning and stronger connections between schools and employers can affect long-term economic opportunity by preparing graduates for available jobs and reducing skills gaps. The Facebook post did not include specific statistics or details about the measures behind the claim.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
