Tagged: Chicago, children, Illinois, populationPosted on: June 18th, 2007“The group Latinos United is calling on the Illinois General Assembly to add $25 million to Governor Blagojevich’s proposed budget to make early childhood education programs more available to Latino children.
An analysis by the group reveals a shortage of early education programs in communities with large Latino populations. They say only about 36 percent of Latino children in Illinois are enrolled in preschool, well below the state average of 52.5 percent.”
