“Creating flexible, personalized learning environments is a step in the right direction for students and sets them up for success in college, career and life. We are grateful for the leadership of Speaker Murrell Smith, Senate Pro Tem Thomas Alexander, Rep. Neal Collins, Rep. Rita Allison and Sen. Greg Hembree for their continuous commitment in advancing student-centered policies to improve South Carolina’s education system.”
Competency-based Education: Policymakers included provisions in the budget that give districts and schools greater flexibility to make a shift toward personalized, competency-based learning. Competency-based education refers to a comprehensive learning approach for a student to master competencies and related standards along a personalized, self-paced, and flexible pathway.
The budget awaits Gov. Henry McMaster’s signature.
