In 2013, the Washington Student Achievement Council proposed a statewide goal for educational attainment that called for 70 percent of the state's 25-44 year olds (i.e., early and mid-career residents) to have a postsecondary credential. The goal was adopted by the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Jay Inslee. In 2019, the Washington Student Achievement Council adopted a Strategic Framework to better understand how state higher education policy contributes to campus and student success. The framework organizes the policy work into four areas deemed essential to achieve the 70 percent goal. These are: (1) Affordability; (2) Enrollment; (3) Completion; and (4) Student Supports. The framework is built upon the belief that an affordable and supportive educational environment will encourage more Washingtonians to enroll in programs and complete credentials. Ensuring equitable access and success for all students is central to the strategic framework. The 2021 Strategic Action Plan (SAP) identifies key state policies to increase educational attainment. The SAP is not an agency-specific document that addresses only Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) programs and initiatives. It is meant to be the state's policy built through the Council's work to engage a wide range of partners and stakeholders to forge a consensus for state action. The SAP includes a summary of the current state policy environment and a work plan for the Council, partners, and stakeholders to take on over a two-year cycle. [For "2019-21 Strategic Action Plan.
