Sorry, where does article [2] show a lack of correlation between low-cost college and low-income enrollment? The only comment that seemed relevant was the following, which implied the opposite:
"In addition to less educational mobility, the United States, along with Japan, Germany, Austria and Estonia, has "less equitable access" to higher education, meaning that it's harder for people with lower socioeconomic status to attend college, the OECD's Schleicher said. That contrasts with countries such as Finland, Ireland, Australia and the Netherlands, which have both more equitable access to education and higher educational mobility, he said."
- linkregister 10y agoSorry, I should have been more explicit. The graduation rate for US students is 8 percent higher than Germany. The original article that talked about it was pretty opinionated so I opted for an unbiased source. However, that omitted the analysis.
- greysphere 10y agoThanks for the clarification. 5 minutes of internetting points out that that the 8 percent difference (39us, 31ger) is at 4 years while the 6 year us number is 59 and the ?8? year ger number is 77. The relationship between cost of college and low income graduates seems pretty unclear to me still. http://redalertpolitics.com/2016/01/07/america-losing-graduation-rates-higher-europe-us/ http://redalertpolitics.com/2016/01/07/america-losing-gradua... (and i make no claims to the authenticity of this source - 5 minutes of internetting...)
- linkregister 10y agoI would never expect even 5 minutes of internetting to fact-check my comment :) . I guess it's not especially clear and my point is more or less invalidated.
