Hispanic graduates may rise by 136% in Utah by 2015
Tagged: population, student, Utah
A new report says that in 2015, the number of Hispanic students graduating from Utah high schools will be more than double what it was in 2005.
The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education says the Hispanic graduate population will grow by 136 percent. That means Hispanic students would account for about 12 percent of all Utah graduates — up from 6 percent in 2005.
“That is a growing demographic, especially in Utah,” said Amanda Covington, assistant commissioner for the Utah System of Higher Education. “That, ironically, is also the demographic that is having (one of the) largest educational achievement gaps, not just in Utah but across the country.”"*
