KnowledgeWorks Foundation looks for ways to offer
practical solutions to tough problems. A cornerstone
of this effort is to understand and engage the
public into the problem-solving process, which is
why KnowledgeWorks Foundation has sponsored this poll.
The public's thoughts and opinions are used in several
ways. First, opinions from this poll help inform
public policy by helping decision-makers better
understand Ohio's needs and the best alternatives
to meeting these needs. Second, the poll allows us
to test our concepts and priorities with those of
the public, allowing us to create, validate or modify
programs and to assure they are relevant and
effective.
Third, polling creates a baseline against
which we can
measure ensuing progress.
Topics for the 2001-2002 Poll include:
As with the 2000-01 poll, this research has provided several key insights and lessons that we will be using throughout the year in the following areas of focus and action:
- Universal Access to Higher Education
- Creating Learning Environment
- Educational Opportunity for Children in Substitute Care
- Quality Early Childhood Education
- Educational Opportunity for Low-Wage Workers
