technical skills of all students through the implementation of a more
rigorous and relevant applied curriculum and instructional process;

workforce and the skills required to obtain those positions;
(c) Increase the postsecondary education's entry and completion rates and
reduce the percentage of students taking remedial courses;

guidance and extra help focused on academics and career achievement;
(e) Make all students aware of employer expectations in order to be
successful;
(f) Increase the daily attendance rate at all secondary schools; and
