Making Education Work for Latinas in the U.S.

Abstract

In California, almost 40% of European American adults hold a BA degree, as do 23% of African Americans and 48% of Asians.  However, only 11% of adult Latinas/os hold a BA degree or higher. Given that the majority of the school age population in the state is now Latina/o, this undereducation is not just an urgent problem, but foreshadows economic disaster for California.
