Officials from around Pinal County and Arizona gathered Tuesday to discuss their vision for the area’s educational future, and they’re aiming high.
Achieve60AZ has set a goal of 60% of adults in Arizona having some sort of postsecondary education by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal for the organization that is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, community-based alliance of over 75 organizations and more than 40 municipalities that have made 60% by 2030 their own goal.
“If we have this level of learning, we have a thriving economy,” said Rachael Yanof, executive director of Achieve60AZ. “We have people that have a choice, we have families that have stability.”
