There are a lot of college students who are don't graduate from school or decide to take a leave for a while. For many of these students the future may seem uncertain. They sign up and get accepted to college but they never graduate. The percentage of students who didn't successfully complete school or graduate has gone higher and higher in the past few years. What can our government and universities do to combat this issue? It's not just that getting a good job might be hard for them in the future but a lot of they're money has gone to waste.
Studies and research has shown that Texas is lagging behind other states when it comes to education and the amount of people successfully getting they're degrees.
"The amount of resources lost on students who don’t graduate is astounding. The Coordinating Board says two-thirds of those who enrolled in post-secondary education in 2003 failed to graduate by 2009. That translates into taxpayer support for the unsuccessful college careers of more than 100,000 students in that time, a waste that the schools should be pushed to help minimize."
I totally agree with the author in this case. He makes a legitimate argument about what students are going through right now. A lot of taxpayers money is going to waste just because college and universities don't have a better way to deal with situations like these. Even though it might seem hard to come up with a solution for an issue like this school around the state should come up with a better game plan for these students.
