Record-Low 31% of Americans Say College Education Is Important
Original: Record-Low 31% Say College Education Is 'Important'
A new Gallup poll shows only 31% of Americans say a college education is very important, the lowest level recorded. Confidence in higher education has been eroding amid rising tuition costs, student debt and questions about the value of a degree in the job market. Commenters are debating whether universities still justify their price and what this shift means for the future of higher education.
Why now: A record-low Gallup reading on the perceived importance of college is reigniting debate about the value and cost of a degree.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 5 snapshots from 5 h ago to 3 min ago.
