Teachers are not very optimistic about the preparation of their students for the future, whether their students go to university or directly in the labor market, according to new research from the Walton Family Foundation and Gallup. Only 21% of high school educators believe that their students to the university are “very prepared” to succeed, and even less – only 10% – say the same on students who plan to enter the labor market immediately after high school. In fact, 35% say that students who plan to enter the job market directly are “not very” or “not at all” prepared. These data align with the previous Walton Family Foundation-Gallup research, which revealed that 24% of high school students do not feel prepared for university success and 29% have not been prepared for professional success.
The excitement of teachers and the perceptions of the success of the students go hand in hand
