| Title | With Diploma in Hand: Hispanic High School Seniors Talk about Their Future |
| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" Surveys show Hispanic parents put a strong emphasis on going to college, yet Hispanics still lag in actual college attendance. In our latest report, With Diploma in Hand, Public Agenda convened focus groups with Hispanic high school students to probe the reasons for the gap. The focus groups, while not definitive, suggest that some qualified Hispanic students can be derailed on the road to higher education by low expectations from teachers, poor understanding of the admissions processes, and little adult support. The report is available through its sponsor, the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, at this address: http://www.highereducation.org/reports/hispanic/hispanic.shtml |
