Education in the Hispanic community
I read an article on Pewhispanic.org about Hispanics changing the landscape of American public schools. Hispanics are currently becoming the largest minority to replace blacks who were also the largest minority in the U.S. With more Hispanics migrating to the U.S., they are beginning to also attend public schools where they are the dominant race. According to Pewhispanic.org, 64% of Hispanic students were accounted for public school enrollment, 23% increase of blacks, and 11%Asians. Meanwhile there was a 1% Caucasian decline because they moved into newly built public schools.

The landscape of America as a whole is changing because of the rapid growth of the Hispanic community. With this growth the United States must accomodate their academic needs, so that they are prepared for the everchanging job market.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this change is because of the increase in Hispanics in America. Hopefully educators will reach out to them and get them acclimated with the schooling system in the US so that they can be successful.
