The Wisconsin Technology Council’s Vision 2020 report recognizes that all of Wisconsin’s public and private educational resources need to be aligned to maximize benefit to students at all levels. We must emphatically reject both rhetoric and policies that would pit one sector of education against another or one level of education against another. The state of Wisconsin should address school funding issues to propel Wisconsin into a leadership position in the Knowledge Economy. Encourage educational cooperation and coordination. The Wisconsin PK-16 Leadership Council, co-chaired by the President of the University of Wisconsin System, the President of the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the President of the Wisconsin Technical College System, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is a unique, voluntary effort to coordinate educational policy. In a relatively short period of time, the PK-16 Leadership Council has shown itself to be entrepreneurial and has resolved thorny educational issues. The PK-16 Leadership Council has also organized a program to encourage and reward educational collaborations at the local level. The importance of K–12 education to productive postsecondary education is obvious. It should be equally obvious that Wisconsin will not attract and retain brainworkers, who place a high value on the education of their children, unless educational quality is not just keeping pace with Scarsdale or Singapore, but exceeding them in meaningful ways. Moreover, the purely economic return on investment in elementary and secondary education (increased earning power) is best realized if students make seamless transition to and successfully complete postsecondary education. Assume the state invests $120,000 per student in K–12 education. That investment is repaid (in additional tax revenue) only if the student receives a postsecondary education. Education must be viewed as a single entity and, in addition to its myriad other benefits, be viewed as an investment. The state of Wisconsin should use the PK-16 Leadership Council to advance seamless education and should avoid inflexible, bureaucratic nostrums for educational advancement. Continue building an effective college transfer system. If the Wisconsin Technology Council’s goals for increasing the number of individuals with four-year degrees and individuals with graduate degrees are to be achieved, there also must be more investment in postsecondary education, including technical education. In the Knowledge Economy, it is not a case of either/or. There must be investment in both. At the University Research Park in Madison, the largest share of workers are graduates of Madison Area Technical College. Those jobs would not be there without the Ph.D.s in biochemistry and computer science or without the MBAs either. But, then, neither would the Ph.D.s and MBAs be there without the MATC graduates. A comprehensive, effective college transfer model is a cost-effective way to expand educational opportunity and to reinforce the seamless nature of postsecondary education. Although great progress has been made, more needs to be done. This is a challenge which the educational leaders of this state must themselves address.
