Improving literacy among Hispanics is key to 2020 goal

President Barack Obama’s goal of reestablishing the United States as the world’s leader in college attainment by 2020 has helped shine a light on the need for more information and resources to help families navigate the complicated waters of postsecondary education.

This week, NCFL released a suite of releases, available at https://www.familieslearning.org/blog/myfamilygoestocollege, to help Spanish-speaking families better prepare themselves and their children to successfully transition into postsecondary education certificate or degree programs.

Community College Times published a commentary written by NCFL President and Founder Sharon Darling that talks about the vital role of parents in postsecondary education and how these resources can help adult learners.
