How educated is North Carolina?

What is postsecondary attainment, and why is it important? What is the current landscape of postsecondary attainment in NC? What is our state’s goal for postsecondary attainment? EdNC explains with the help of Rebecca Tippett, director of Carolina Demography and coauthor of North Carolina’s Leaky Educational Pipeline & Pathways to 60% Postsecondary Attainment.
