Ohio’s Learning Standards Will Bolster Its Future Success
How Ohio’s education standards and aligned assessments will help make young Ohioans work-force ready, military-eligible and crime-free
What happens in our classrooms today will determine Ohio’s future success. But some signs are troubling. For example, less than 40 percent of Ohio 8th graders are proficient in math and reading. If our young people are not well-educated, they will not be ready for college or careers, including careers in the military, and will be more likely to turn to crime.
Ohio’s learning standards must remain strong so Ohio’s children can compete for the high-demand, high-skilled jobs of the future.

This report outlines why the Ohio Learning Standards, along with aligned assessments, are the clearest way to demonstrate Ohio’s commitment to a world-class education and show measurable results.
