Massachusetts' Education Systems
Massachusetts’ nation-leading public schools and higher education institutions are a key strength for our state and help attract businesses to locate and grow here.
The Massachusetts High Technology Council is unwavering in its dedication to safeguarding the high standards that have elevated Massachusetts schools to national excellence. Our commitment extends beyond accolades—it seeks to foster equity across all school districts, ensuring that every student, regardless of their zip code, is held to the same rigorous standards. At a time when Massachusetts is losing people and jobs to other states, it is critical that we remain steadfast in our commitment to maintaining a high standard of education.
The Council also recognizes the important role played by Massachusetts higher education institutions. These institutions not only help prepare young individuals for the jobs of the future, but they also engage in impactful partnerships with industry, driving innovative research and technology development. This synergy between education and industry is key to shaping a workforce capable of navigating the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
