Education officials and nonprofit service providers said the state legislature, the business community, and even voters are needed to help fix a statewide crisis of children and young adults who are considered at-risk or disconnected.
The issue of “disconnected” young people, as highlighted in a report commissioned by Dalio Education this month, has many facets. One is the sheer scale – according to the findings, about 119,000 young adults in Connecticut are at risk of not graduating from high school or are disconnected from post-secondary education or employment.
Typically when adults ask themselves, “What’s the matter with young people today?” any discussion can quickly devolve into a kids-these-days gripe session. But a report released earlier this month by Dalio Education provides a trove of data, bringing into stark relief the number of young people in Connecticut who have tuned out.
The premise of a Dalio Education report that found that 119,000 young adults in Connecticut who are at-risk of not graduating from high school or are disconnected from post-secondary education or employment, is that when more people know about the crisis, then more people will care, and more people will act.
