  The National Governors Association is an influential group and has stimulated many education policy changes including k-12 common core curriculum. Now they have turned their attention to college completion.
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin III, the new chair of the National Governors Association, has unveiled Complete to Compete, an effort that will focus on increasing the number of students in the United States who complete college degrees and certificates, and on improving the productivity of the country’s higher education institutions.
