EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES

Minnesota gaps in educational disparities by race and ethnicity from high school through college.

College Readiness

MN Needs to Increase Access to Degrees that Open Doors

Key indicators confirm Minnesota has an educational gap across racial and ethnic groups. The gap is not isolated to the higher education system; students of color do not succeed at the same rates as their White peers throughout all levels of the Minnesota education system. Minnesota's challenge moving forward is to successfully prepare and support underserved populations to certificate or degree completion while meeting future workforce demands in a period of changing demographics.

Graduating high school is key to future educational

achievment.
