Tagged: dropout rate, Hillary Clinton, studentPosted on: October 4th, 2007“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) set a goal Wednesday to cut the high school dropout rate for Hispanics in half if she is elected president, calling the lack of high-school-educated Hispanics a “crisis.”
Speaking at a sparsely attended Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) forum, Clinton focused on education issues and advocated a $100 million investment in a public-private summer internship program that would help minority students network for potential future jobs.”
