The roadmap for educators and policymakers
to help Latino students reach college completion

The Latino community has experienced unprecedented growth in the United States in the past five decades, yet a limited proportion of Latinos are accessing colleges and universities, and even fewer are completing their two-year and four-year degrees. Low educational attainment stifles both economic opportunity and social mobility, and if efforts are not taken to turn around these educational outcomes, there will be serious implications for the economic future of the nation. To help policymakers and educators increase postsecondary attainment in the Latino community, The College Board Advocacy & Policy Center has developed the Latino Edition of the College Completion Agenda — incorporating a progress report that will be updated annually and a companion State Policy Guide that was created in collaboration with the National Council of La Raza and Excelencia in Education. These and other documents in the series deliver the measures to assess educational attainment of this very important group in American society, and provide approaches for integrating this community into the larger national context of educational attainment based on the commission's ten recommendations that span the P–20 educational continuum.
