Community colleges and high schools would receive federal funds to create
free, online courses in a program that is in the final stages of being
drafted by the Obama administration.
The program is part of a series of efforts to help community colleges
reach more students and to link basic skills education to job training.
The proposals are outlined in administration discussion drafts obtained by
Inside Higher Ed. A formal announcement could come in the next few weeks.
In addition to the free online courses, the plan would provide $9 billion
over 10 years to help community colleges develop and improve programs
related to preparing students for good jobs, and a $10 billion loan fund
(at low or no interest) for community college facilities.
