As the US education system continues to grapple with issues of equity and quality, a new push is underway to ensure that a high school diploma holds the value and significance it once did. In an effort to address the growing concern that a high school diploma is becoming increasingly worthless, policymakers and educators are calling for a return to rigorous academic standards and a focus on preparing students for the demands of the modern workforce. The Boston Globe reports on the growing momentum behind this movement, which seeks to restore the prestige and worth of a high school diploma and provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive economy. With the stakes higher than ever, the question on everyone's mind is: can we make sure a high school diploma still means something?
