Double The Numbers

The plan states that to raise Kentucky’s standard of living to the national average by 2020, Kentucky must double the number of its citizens with at least a bachelor's degree, and outlines five key strategies to reach this goal.
The state's Double the Numbers effort is supported by KnowHow2GOKy a comprehensive outreach campaign.

“The Cossack eats Poland,
Like stolen fruit;
Her last noble is ruined,
Her last poet mute:
Straight, into double band
The victors divide;
Half for freedom strike and stand;—
The astonished Muse finds thousands at her side.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
