The creation of the Kentucky Community &
Technical College System has been described as the
most substantial change to the state’s postsecondary
system; the results are considered one of the key
success stories of the 1997 reforms.
Kentucky Public Postsecondary Institutions
Percent of Total Revenues by Source
2002-03
The chart on the right shows the total annual revenue for postsecondary institutions and the percentage of funds derived from each of these sources from
fiscal year 2003 to fiscal 2015.
There are regular reports about enrollment and
degree attainment. After steady growth for several
years, there have been recent declines in both enrollment and in degree and credential attainment (see
two charts above).
The Council on Postsecondary Education is
currently developing a new strategic plan for the
state’s postsecondary system. The agenda includes
three focus areas:
Opportunity – Ensure postsecondary education
is broadly accessible to all Kentucky residents,
students have college-going resources/support, and
students are academically prepared for credit-bearing work.
Success – Ensure more people complete college
with the skills and abilities to be productive, engaged citizens.
Impact – Strengthen the commonwealth by generating
new knowledge and research, improving communities,
increasing the educational attainment of citizens, and
producing a well-educated, highly skilled citizenry
prepared for life and work.
