Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education is a statewide partnership led by the Early Learning Council, the Hawai‘i State Department of Education, and the University of Hawai‘i System that is working to strengthen the education pipeline from early childhood through higher education so that all students achieve career and college success. P-20 partners share a sense of urgency about the need to improve Hawai‘i's educational outcomes in an increasingly global economy.
The goal of Hawai‘i P-20 is for 55% of Hawai‘i's working age adults to have a 2- or 4-year college degree by the year 2025. Hawai‘i P-20 seeks to achieve this by:
» Having all children reading at grade level by third grade
» Strengthening the rigor of the high school curriculum
» Increasing student access and success in college
» Facilitating program and policy development based upon research and data
