Providing South Dakotans of all ages with a strong educational
background is one of the most critical things that we can do as a nation,
and this effort will continue to require a constructive federal-state-local
partnership. South Dakota is fortunate to have many opportunities
for post-secondary education ranging from career and technical education
to advanced degree programs at Universities in many locations across the
state, offering excellent instructional programming that helps students
become productive members of the workforce and earn a competitive wage.
