SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a fact. To have the best chance of gaining economic parity within our society, education and/or training after high school is a necessity.

Key Points: 
  • To have the best chance of gaining economic parity within our society, education and/or training after high school is a necessity.
  • "If we want to achieve equity, we must ensure ALL students have the same opportunity to achieve economic equality."
  • Currently, only 6% of ninth graders take dual enrollment in California during their first year in high school.
  • As the graph shows the number of high school attendees in dual enrollment courses grew from 4,216 to 34,086.
