SANTA FE, N.M. — New Mexico's high school juniors would be required to apply to at least one college or show they have committed to other post-high school plans as part of a new high school graduation requirement being pushed by two state lawmakers.
The proposal is scheduled for its first legislative hearing on Thursday. If it eventually becomes law, New Mexico would be the first state to require post-high school plans of students, said Jennifer Zinth, who is the director of high school and STEM research at the Education Commission of the States, a Denver-based group that tracks education policy.

Teachers unions should be annihilated and any attempt to organize a teachers union should be a capital offense.

Didn’t Chicago try this first at a city level? I don’t think I’ve seen the results from Chicago reported.

This has to be one of the most arrogant ideas to come out so far this year.Amid strong competition from CA's effort to jail waiters for offering straws unbidden.

Sometimes they let the truth sneak in...
The measure was drafted with the aim of reversing declines in college enrollment across the state, which fell nearly 14 percent from 155,065 enrolled students in 2010 to 133,830 in 2016.
Loss in revenue...

‘Fraid so, TSR!
The libtards up in Fanta Se have thunk up a new requirement for the proles to follow ... which undoubtedly siphons more tax dollars into their pockets or to their speshul friends.

Ridiculous.
To: ican'tbelieveit
“Loss in Revenue” not withstanding, there are too many high school grads that do not belong in college, can’t do the work and are not interested in putting forth the effort to get a degree. Tell the colleges to strip down their faculties to what is needed, cut costs and make a college education affordable to those who can DO THE WORK!
