Oregon's Senate education committee approved S.B. 253 that calls for seeing by 2025 that 40% of adult Oregonians have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, 40% an associate's degree or postsecondary credential and the remaining 20% at least a high school diploma. The bill would cement in law a state goal to dramatically raise the education levels of Oregonians. (Oregonian, 02/03/11)
