Bill Summary
For legislation to ensure quality education and training programs. Higher Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure quality education and training programs in Massachusetts. It requires public institutions of higher education receiving state financial aid to report annually on various student-level information, including enrollment, graduation, and job placement rates, student loan debt, and vocational and workforce certification programs. The Department of Revenue and Division of Unemployment Assistance are required to assist the Department of Higher Education in obtaining this information. The Department of Higher Education is then tasked with making this data publicly available on a consumer information website and submitting an annual summary report to the state government. Additionally, the bill establishes a task force to develop action steps for improving the state's data infrastructure and creating longitudinal data systems to measure the outcomes of education, workforce, and human service programs.
