Twelve years remain in the "60x30TX" higher education plan for Texas. The overarching goal of the plan is for 60 percent of young adult Texans, ages 25-34, to have a certificate or degree by 2030. This is the third "60x30TX" progress report issued by the THECB. It provides breakouts and explanations of the "60x30TX" metrics and displays goals and targets through 2030. In addition, this report summarizes Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board activities or initiatives that are supporting and helping to achieve the goals and targets listed in "60x30TX." This report shows Texas is beginning to make progress toward its goals and is seeing early signs of improvement. Statewide, higher education stakeholders, however, must continue to set the stage for success, to help Texas ensure a good future for those who will soon enter the workforce and for the millions that will inherit our successes.
