Latino students are falling behind their peers in college, new research shows

“Last year, 45 percent of Latinos had at least some college education, compared with 35 percent in 1992, according to the study, Latino Education and Economic Progress: Running Faster but Still Falling Behind. But during the same time period, the college education gap between Latinos and whites has grown to 29 percentage points from 23 points in 1992, and the gap with blacks has increased to 21 percentage points from 10 points.”
