Hundreds of thousands of young adults came of age during the pandemic. But instead of college, many turned to hourly jobs or careers that don’t require a degree. Others were deterred by high tuition.

Economists say the impact could be dire. https://t.co/Lbw8X6Xjgd

A wonderful gathering of education leaders at the final stop of @TNHigherEd's #TNMomentumYear2023 statewide tour to address the drop in college-going rate in Tennessee.

[Times Free Press @TimesFreePress]

Tennessee's rate of high schoolers going on to post-secondary education has fallen to roughly 52% .
