More Hispanic Immigrants Earn Degrees, But Education Gap Persists
WASHINGTON
Many more Hispanic immigrants are completing high school and earning college degrees, but the education gap with native-born Americans remains wide, a Latino research group reported last month.
Education levels also vary by the country from which a Latino immigrant came, according to the report by the Pew Hispanic Center. Those from Mexico and Central American countries such as El Salvador and Honduras were less likely to finish high school than new arrivals from South America and the Caribbean.
