New research from ACT’s Center for Equity in Learning and Hispanic media company Univision Communications Inc. has produced three recommendations for increasing college readiness among Hispanic students.
Hispanic students make up about 18 percent of the college student population, and they tend to meet ACT College Readiness Benchmarks at lower rates than non-Hispanic white students, according to a news release.
Univision and the center discussed the college-going process with 44 parents and 50 high school students in several focus groups in cities across the country.
