What is Education for All?
Education for All is the idea that institutions must do everything in their power to understand individual student needs, and then provide them with appropriate resources to meet those needs and achieve their academic goals. However, higher education is still only accessible to some, while others are left behind.

Today, many more paths exist towards a solution and new ones are explored every day -- action and progress are possible. To uncover what's working and what's not in the pursuit of Education for All, we at McGraw Hill spoke with numerous students, administrators, instructors, and academic experts across the country. This white paper explains where we currently stand, how we can overcome persistent challenges, and how institutions can leverage effective practices to shift momentum in the right direction. Most notably, we will introduce the Success in Higher Education Framework that covers three key areas all institutions should consider in the pursuit of progress towards an Education for All:
Access and Achievement Being and Belonging Cause and Career
When an institution takes all three areas into account, they can see needs that may be currently underserved and begin to craft actionable steps to fill those gaps. By looking holistically at the factors that impact a learner's drive and success, institutions can take the totality of the student's experience into account and move beyond an education for some, to an education for all.
