Latino students are the fastest-growing segment of America’s student population – and they’re being left behind. This latest policy brief from Hispanic Federation makes a compelling, evidence-driven case for why that must change, and exactly how to fix it.
From underfunded K-12 schools and rising re-segregation, to skyrocketing college costs and gutted federal programs, the report lays out the systemic barriers blocking Latino students at every level of education. Hispanic Federation puts forward bold, concrete solutions: protect Title I and TRIO funding, implement a nationwide universal FAFSA, restore Hispanic Serving Institutions, defend DEIA programs, expand trades and apprenticeship access, and safeguard the Department of Education itself from dismantlement.
Decades of hard-won progress hang in the balance. The data shows what’s possible: when Latino students get the resources and support they need, they succeed – and so does America.
