This is a 2001 report on the enrollment and progress for basic skills students in Washington State's community and technical colleges. Report highlights include: (1) 15% of all state-support instruction is in basic skills; (2) 53% of basic skills instruction is in English second language (ESL) programs; and (3) adult basic education (ABE) and general education (GED) programs have also increased continuously over the past five years. The report also shows that 57% of basic skills students are students of color. The median age of basic skills students is 29 years. Basic skills students are shown to earn considerably less money than other college-level students do. The majority of basic skills students show earnings below the poverty level (less than $1180/month for a family of three). In addition, over half of all basic skills students fail to complete more than one quarter. The state board reports that community colleges and districts have to improve retention and increase the amount of instruction time to reach its target goal of significantly increasing the basic skills of 80% of the students in these programs.
