Texas lags behind nation and key global competitors in educational attainment
Page 14 01/2012
Latino Male Symposium
It is imperative for Texas to improve educational attainment to remain globally competitive
• The U.S. college degree attainment rate must be increased from 40 to 60%. This equates to 10 million additional Americans ages 25-34 with an associate or baccalaureate degree (includes 8 million beyond projected growth).
– Achieving the 2020 College Completion Goal (Obama Admin)
• To remain globally competitive, Texas will need an additional 4.1 million associate & bachelor’s degrees by the year 2030 to reach the internationally accepted goal of 60% of the workforce with higher education attainment.
