Data Systems That Work

This page details the why states need data infrastructure that meets the needs of all their education and workforce stakeholders—including educators and institutional leaders, students and families, local and state education and workforce agencies, policymakers, and the broader public. Modernized P–20W data systems that connect data over time and across sectors allow decision-makers at all levels to answer their most pressing policy questions and better support individual students on their pathways through education and into the workforce.
