For decades, the mantra of 'college for all' has inspired educational reforms in America, leading to numerous K-12 schools aimed at helping low-income students achieve bachelor's degrees. Despite vast expenditures and bipartisan efforts, 40% of college entrants do not complete their studies, frequently incurring debilitating debt. Distrust towards higher education institutions has grown due to perceived costs and biases. Consequently, some high schools, like those in the KIPP network, are shifting focus to a broader array of post-graduation options, including trade schools and apprenticeships, rather than solely promoting four-year college attendance.
For three decades, college for all was an American rallying cry, inspiring educators while 40% of college starters never finish, often leaving with life-altering debt.
After decades of promoting four-year colleges, high schools are now steering students toward alternative paths like trade schools and apprenticeships.
