55 by ’25 is an education campaign coordinated by Hawai‘i P-20, that raises awareness, creates urgency, and invites community-wide participation to achieve Hawai‘i’s education goal:
55 percent of working age adults (25–64 years old) having a two-or four-year degree by the year 2025.
To achieve this important goal, support is needed for students and teachers across the education spectrum—from early childhood through college completion. The 55 by ’25 campaign urges businesses, community, parents and students to make education a high priority and to join the thousands of people in Hawai‘i who are already working hard to achieve the 55 by ‘25 goal.
Goal
History
In 2008, the “55 by ’25” goal was set by the Hawai‘i P-20 Council, the advisory council for Hawai‘i P-20. The Hawai‘i P-20 Council is a group of leaders from education, business, labor, government and the community who share a common vision and mission of improving educational outcomes for Hawai‘i. The council provides support, information, and guidance to the Hawai‘i P-20 leadership and staff, and advocates for statewide educational planning and policy.
