To Raise Educational Levels, Focus on Income-Based Inequality, Report Urges
From the Chroicle of Higher Education
Without more students from low-income and working-class families earning bachelor's degrees, the United States won't meet the Obama administration's college-completion goal, says a new report from the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. President Obama has set a goal for the United States to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. The report, "Developing 20/20 Vision on the 2020 Degree Attainment Goal: The Threat of Income-Based Inequality in Education," argues that the "nation's failure to keep pace with other countries in educational attainment among 25- to 34-year-old adults can be largely traced to our inability to adequately educate individuals from families in the bottom half of the income distribution."
