About Nebraska P-16 Initiative

Our Mission

Nebraska P-16's mission is to increase the success rates of students at all levels of education, both public and private, to improve the prosperity and quality of life of the students themselves and to increase the education level of Nebraska's workforce to enhance the state's economic competitiveness.

Nebraska P-16 Goals:

• To help ensure that all students have well-prepared teachers and administrators at every level of education and that students' transitions from each level of education to the next are seamless;
• To help more students achieve success in their educational careers so that they can gain the benefits that accrue from being well-educated individuals and can also contribute to the economic well-being and quality of life of their fellow Nebraskans
• To communicate to students and their parents the benefits for getting a good education and the need to take rigorous courses to properly prepare for college or career.
• To develop and implement new and more effective means of informing students and their parents about the true costs of postsecondary education and the planning tools and financial assistance that are available. In this process, special attention must be paid to the needs of Latino and other minority and low-income groups.
• To improve the college-going rate of Nebraskans and their persistence through degree completion with the intent of increasing the overall education level of the state's population and workforce.
