2007 Surveys of Voters and Students
In March and April, 2007, Peter D. Hart Research Associates, Inc., conducted two surveys for the North Carolina New Schools Project. The first survey was conducted from March 30 to April 1, 2007, among a representative statewide sample of 602 voters. The second survey was conducted from April 2 to 5, 2007, among 403 recent North Carolina high school graduates age 18 to 24 who have not graduated from college. Several key messages emerged from the voter and student survey results:
- The world is changing and schools must keep up with changing times.
- A relevant high school education is necessary for kids to be successful in the new global economy.
- Students are telling the story: they could have been better prepared and would have worked harder.23 MAY 2007
