Record-Low 31% of Americans Say College Is Important
Original: Record-Low 31% Say College Education Is 'Important'
A new Gallup poll finds just 31% of Americans say a college education is 'very important', a record low. Confidence in higher education has been sliding for years amid rising tuition costs, student debt and doubts about whether degrees pay off. Commenters are debating whether universities have priced themselves out of relevance or whether the value of college is being unfairly maligned.
Why now: Fresh Gallup data showing a record low in perceived importance of college taps into ongoing debates about the value and cost of higher education.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 19 snapshots from 1 d ago to 49 min ago.
