New "Standards" in Business Education

The 2007 graduation standards requirements have changed for students in Georgia which is a move in the right direction for Business Education. The new graduation requirements eliminated the “tiered” diploma which had different expectations for different students. It is my opinion, the change will improve the perception of business education classes in the minds of students and their parents. In the past, obtaining a Career Tech degree was for the non academically inclined student and frankly, not highly regarded by parents and students.
Business education classes prepare students to enter the world of work and to become knowledgeable of employer expectations. The new diploma requires three (3) credit hours, as elective classes, in CTAE field. The good news is students can receive industry certification by following a specific career pathway.

Finally, a new direction and new standards for Business classes that creates a prepared workforce for the 21st century. Hoorah
