Paul LeBlanc has re-imagined higher education, with a focus on the
most fundamental of functions: student learning. In Students First,
he advocates for an entire higher education ecosystem in which
students have the flexibility to gain, assess, and certify their
knowledge on their own terms and timelines. In a perceptive
analysis, LeBlanc provides a clear-eyed view of how and why higher
education is failing to reach and serve a great many potential
students. He then deftly explores how reform can address systemic
inequities, improve college affordability, and broaden
accessibility. Through case studies, he highlights alternative
delivery models such as online, distance, and just-in-time
learning, and envisions a learning environment that values
competencies rather than credit hours. LeBlanc describes how these
innovations and others will allow colleges and universities to help
close the skills gap and respond to a rapidly evolving,
technology-driven job market. Although a college education remains
one of the great drivers of socioeconomic mobility, today's higher
education industry has built financial, logistical, and practical
barriers that keep out the very students who are most in need of
opportunity. Students First makes a persuasive case that realigning
US educational priorities will enable larger populations of
graduates to enjoy return on investment in the form of good pay,
meaningful work, and a stable future. As the book emphasizes, such
change is imperative, for in better serving its students, higher
education will better serve society.
