The federal government is proposing a new means of tracking secondary education achievements ââ?¬â?? or the lack thereof ââ?¬â?? by following high school graduates as they work their way through the collegiate system. Studentsââ?¬â?¢ personal information, including Social Security numbers, would be collected by higher education institutions in compilation with marks of academic achievements (namely grades) and reported to Washington so that high schools may be better assessed for the quality of students they are able to place in the collegiate field.
