Mayra Avila is looking forward to her high school prom. Avila, 18, the West Potomac High School senior is, among hundreds of thousands of teenagers getting a head start on an associate’s or bachelor’s degree—and saving on tuition—by taking college courses in high school.
President Obama, who set the goal of having the United States claim the highest share of college graduates of any country by 2020, is counting on the success of students such as Avila, a Mexican immigrant whose parents never finished high school. One approach policymakers are harnessing to help students such as her: dual enrollment programs that lower tuition and attract students who don’ t think college is within reach.
The partnership between Fairfax County schools and Northern Virginia Community College sets Avila, one of six children, on a path to earn a bachelor’s degree. She wants to study dental hygiene at the community college in the fall and then transfer to Virginia Commonwealth University. Heading straight to a four-year university isn’t an option. "If I had the
opportunity
, I would, but there’s no money for it," Avila said. Her English credits will make college less expensive. She’s paying reduced tuition and the high school buys the books.
"As I tell kids and parents, it’s the best deal since sliced bread," said Bruce Jankowitz, assistant principal at West Potomac High, which offers six dual-enrollment sessions in English and government, up from two last year. "These are kids who have not come from the orientation that college is in your future. It serves a niche for students who are motivated to go to college—maybe they are the first in their family to go to college."
Raising the rate depends on getting more minority students into higher education. In the decade leading up to 2014-15, public high schools are expected to produce about 207,000 more Hispanic graduates—a 54 percent jump, according to a report by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. There will be more Asian and black graduates and fewer whites.
Which of the following may be an effective way for the U.S. to raise its college graduates rate according to the last paragraph?
选项
A、Enabling more children of foreign origins to enter into college.
B、Raising federal expenditure on college education.
C、Reducing the number of white college students.
D、Helping more children of Mexican immigrants get higher education.
答案
A
解析
细节题。短文最后一段第一句指出Raising the rate depends on getting moreminority students into higher education.即提高大学毕业生的比率需要让更多的少数民族学生接受高等教育。故选A。
