Gov. Scott Walker addressed education leaders around Wisconsin Friday at the State Education Convention, according to a release.
Walker supported expanding Dual Enrollment Academics, allowing high school seniors to take courses for both high school and technical college credits, according to the release.
“The Dual Enrollment program prepares high school students to be workforce ready for good-paying jobs in high-need areas after graduation,” Walker said in a previous release.
Additionally, State School Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers and Walker worked on revisions to allow computer science courses to count toward math or science graduation requirements.
Walker and the Legislature are also working to create a process that would “develop Wisconsin-based model academic standards” and allow public input and open discussion, the release said.
“The education leaders here in our state are most qualified to assess the best way to take the standards we set for students to the next level,” Walker said in the release.
