Abstract	After defining remedial education, this report reviews the typical methods that institutions employ to identify students in need of remediation and the resulting national demographics of remediated students. It touches on national rates of progress through remedial education for major racial or ethnic and socioeconomic student groups and examines how much money students spend on these courses that do not count toward a degree. While there are certainly reforms to the design of remedial education in higher education institutions that could improve student retention and completion, the recommendations that conclude this report focus on other ways for the K-12 and higher education systems to eliminate the need for remedial education for recent high school graduates.
