A new report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) has made a compelling case for parents who have not earned a degree to go back to college.
According to the report, from the Student Parent Success Initiative (SPSI), helping parents complete college education is key to closing racial equity gaps and an equitable economic recovery post-pandemic. Single parents and Black, Latinx and Indigenous parents are the least likely adults to hold a college degree, confirmed the research.
