As reported in Governing, states may have to do more than adding more math and science courses to high school graduation requirements to prepare students for in-demand technical fields, according to a new report looking at test scores in Illinois. Recent data from Illinois would find otherwise, as described by Governing,

A 2005 Illinois law mandating a minimum of three years of math and two years of science for graduation made no significant impact on college-readiness exam scores, though the law might be linked to a slight improvement in college enrollment, according to the report, released by American College Testing (ACT), the company behind the ACT standardized test.
