EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ A new study found that fewer Louisiana high schoolers took internships and apprenticeships than students in neighboring states, with only 5% earning credits and just 3 per 1,000 completing an apprenticeship in 2023—figures that lag behind other parts of the South. State education officials will roll out a new accountability system next school year to boost work-based learning while proposals to consolidate tax credits aim to spur additional local business participation.
