Requires public institutions of higher education to report certain information concerning remedial course placement of Office of Secretary of Higher Education; requires secretary to produce report on course placements.
This bill requires public colleges and universities in New Jersey to annually report data on how many new students are placed into remedial courses, which are classes that do not count toward a degree. The legislation mandates that these reports include specific details such as the students' high schools and the subjects where they need extra help. Additionally, the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education must compile this information into a public report that tracks trends and identifies schools with unusually high rates of remedial placement. If a school district's remedial enrollment rises significantly above its average, the state may share this data with the State Auditor or the Department of Education for inclusion in school report cards.
