Louisiana wants to have 60% of working age adults earn some type of degree or valuable credential by 2029. Half of adults in the state have only a high school education or less, so there’s a lot of work to do. Since implementing its Master Plan for Education in 2019, it has grown that group with a degree or credential from 44.2% in 2018 to 48.1% in 2021. A key part of its strategy is implementing Open Educational Resources (OER), instructional materials (whether text or media) that are openly licensed and freely accessible for teaching purposes.
