Download or read book College Affordability written by Jerry S. Davis and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report attempts to define the nature and dimensions of the "college affordability crisis." It covers trends in college costs, student ability to pay, and some of the ways in which affordability problems are being addressed. The report finds that while annual growth in college costs has slowed, cost continues to exceed growth in family income and in the Consumer Price Index, but it notes that high tuition is not universal. It discusses student and family concerns about affordability and debt burdens on students after they leave college.It also notes that institutional reactions to these concerns include an increase in college-supported student aid. In looking at why college costs are rising, it notes that one factor is reduced growth in state funding, but also finds that an increasing number of private four-year colleges discount tuition. The report also discusses changes in federal student aid; looks at other explanations for the growth in tuition, including colleges' financial conditions; reviews policymakers' positions and views on affordability; and gives examples of how the media looks at affordability. Appendix tables provide comparative tuition data vis-a-vis income and enrollment, and grant aid as a percentage of total costs. (Contains 60 references.) (CH)

Download or read book Understanding Dropouts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-08-29 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role played by testing in the nation's public school system has been increasing steadily-and growing more complicated-for more than 20 years. The Committee on Educational Excellence and Testing Equity (CEETE) was formed to monitor the effects of education reform, particularly testing, on students at risk for academic failure because of poverty, lack of proficiency in English, disability, or membership in population subgroups that have been educationally disadvantaged. The committee recognizes the important potential benefits of standards-based reforms and of test results in revealing the impact of reform efforts on these students. The committee also recognizes the valuable role graduation tests can potentially play in making requirements concrete, in increasing the value of a diploma, and in motivating students and educators alike to work to higher standards. At the same time, educational testing is a complicated endeavor, that reality can fall far short of the model, and that testing cannot by itself provide the desired benefits. If testing is improperly used, it can have negative effects, such as encouraging school leaving, that can hit disadvantaged students hardest. The committee was concerned that the recent proliferation of high school exit examinations could have the unintended effect of increasing dropout rates among students whose rates are already far higher than the average, and has taken a close look at what is known about influences on dropout behavior and at the available data on dropouts and school completion.
