The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is a state agency responsible for overseeing higher education in Texas. Established in 1965, its primary mission is to ensure access to quality education, promote student success, and enhance the state's workforce development. The board sets educational policies, allocates funding, and coordinates programs among public universities, community colleges, and technical schools. THECB also works to improve educational outcomes by implementing initiatives such as the Texas Success Initiative and the 60x30TX plan, which aims for 60% of Texans aged 25-34 to hold a postsecondary degree or certificate by 2030. The board collaborates with various stakeholders, including institutions, students, and policymakers, to achieve these goals.
