Avila, 18, isn’t a Doogie Howser-esque super achiever. The West Potomac High School senior is among hundreds of thousands of teenagers getting a head start on an associate’s or a 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(利用)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(卫生学)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 and Government credits will make college less expensive. She’s paying reduced tuition—$43 for the English composition course, which costs $ 286 for students at the NVCC campus—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 2014-2015, public high schools are expected to produce about 207 000 more Hispanic(说西班牙语的)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.
What kind of students do the dual enrollment programs intend to help?
选项
A、Students whose parents have received higher education.
B、Students who think it’s impossible to go to college.
C、Students who can afford tuition fees.
D、Students with outstanding academic records.
