Postsecondary education is broken. The signs are obvious and pervasive. Although not perfect and not a universal solution, Google has launched an alternative approach that illuminates the way to address many of the shortcomings that plague our current system. While the problems with education beyond high school are deep and many, three towering issues loom over the rest. They are staggering student debt, non-completion rates nearing 40%, and graduating students who are ill-prepared for the workforce. Combined, they make continuing our current model untenable for the future. The real game changer, to my mind, is Google’s partner program with employers.
