Record-Low 31% Say College Is Very Important
Original: Record-Low 31% Say College Education Is 'Very Important'
A new Gallup survey finds that just 31% of Americans now say a college education is 'very important', the lowest level on record. The figure reflects growing public skepticism about the value and cost of higher education. Commentators point to rising tuition, student debt, and questions about whether degrees justify the expense as likely drivers of the declining confidence.
Why now: Gallup released a new poll showing record-low public confidence in the value of a college education.
