MCC Math Reform Featured in Connecticut Mirror

MCC was featured in a recent article “Colleges tackle remedial education problem” which appeared in the Connecticut Mirror. Paul Edelen and Milaim Tahiri, part of the math team which is redesigning the remedial courses at MCC, were interviewed for the article. More than 70 percent of students in Connecticut’s community college degree programs are in need of remedial math or English, as are nearly two -thirds of students in the CT State University System. Across the nation, remedial education remains a topic of debate as to its proper role in higher education.
