BHEF is an excellent source of information on educational issues fundamental to national competitiveness. These include improving student achievement and readiness for success in college and work; and strengthening higher education, particularly our national capacity in science, technology, engineering, and math.
BHEF currently is pursuing two major initiatives advancing solutions in these areas – one focused on college/work readiness and success, and a second promoting America's leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
