Excelencia in Education
Excelencia in Education is committed to using data to inform public policy and institutional practice to achieve our mission of accelerating student success for Latinos in higher education. Every educational experience from early childhood to high school and into the workforce influences the potential for college success. For this reason, this publication looks critically at the entire educational pipeline and the context in which the nation's students are learning in order to better understand and inform decisionmakers about the multiple paths to success for Latino, and all, students. This factbook synthesizes national and public data in a series of one-page fact sheets that provide a snapshot of the educational progress, strengths, and areas of need of Latino students throughout the education pipeline as well as select educational themes. Recognizing education as the primary means to strengthen human capital, this factbook also includes a fact sheet on Latinos in the workforce. While concise, these fact sheets provide reference tools for today's diverse stakeholders and can be used to inform data-driven discussions about their efforts to improve Latino educational achievement. [This publication was developed with the support of the Excelencia in Action network and as part of the "Aprender es Triunfar" (Learning is Succeeding) initiative, a partnership among Excelencia in Education, Comcast NBCUniversal, and Telemundo.]
