Competency-based education programs are set to skyrocket - LAURA DEVANEY, eSchool News

New report forecasts that more than half a million students will be enrolled in competency-based education programs by 2020. The number of students enrolled in competency-based education programs is expected to reach more than 500,000 by 2020–meaning it will have more than doubled from the roughly 200,500 enrollments in 2015. By 2020, students age 25 and older will account for approximately 44 percent of the tertiary education student population, meaning the potential for the competency-based education market is huge, according to technology research and advisory company Technavio. http://www.ecampusnews.com/alternative-pathways/competency-education-skyrocket/
