Online Learning: Connecting with S.C. Students

Online learning can help address South Carolina’s high dropout rate. The vast majority of dropouts – 88 percent – don’t drop out because of failing grades. They do so largely because they are not mentally engaged with what’s happening at school. Online learning can give many of these young people a second chance by giving them access to innovative educational techniques tailored to their specific needs.

Online Learning: A Solution for South Carolina

Online learning allows the public education system to move beyond brick and mortar buildings and connect with students on a one-to-one basis – making a high-quality education accessible to students in high-poverty and rural areas, and giving dropouts a second chance.
