Report Shows MSIs Leading the Way in Remedial Education Reform - Higher Education

Report Shows MSIs Leading the Way in Remedial Education Reform - Higher Education: As higher education leaders continue to grapple with the need to rethink and redesign remedial education, it may pay to look at the experience of 25 minority-serving institutions, or MSIs, that revamped their remedial programs under a three-year initiative that just came to an end.

That’s one of the takeaways of a new policy brief, titled, “Rethinking Remedial Education: The Role of MSIs in Serving Under-Prepared Students in the 21st Century.”

The brief ― issued late last week by the Institute for Higher Education Policy ― describes MSIs as being “well positioned to advance new models for remedial instruction” because of their commitment to serving historically underrepresented groups.
