Double The Numbers
On October 17, 2007, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education launched "Double the Numbers: Kentucky's Plan to Increase College Graduates". 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.

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or numbers:
“Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
