College Completion Rates Keep Rising Incrementally

More Americans are earning a college degree
The proportion of Americans with a two- or four-year college degree is rising and the numbers look better for African-American and Hispanic college-going students, too, according to a new report released by the Lumina Foundation. If the trend continues, America may have a shot at rejoining the world’s most-educated nations by 2025. (NPR, April 22). But the rise is slow, and uneven across many factors and sectors. I wonder what is causing this positive trend.
