ADA Education Fund Poll Results

Since its inception in 1947, educational equality has been one of ADA Education Fund’s major goals. Today, America’s economic future requires the nation to combat educational inequality.  Many school districts, particularly those with higher-income families, provide excellent education while many big city and rural districts suffer from substandard education. High-income families have access to high quality college preparation while low income families do not.

Given that disparity, the nation must act to guarantee access to post-secondary academic and vocational education and training for all high school graduates to meet their personal needs and the needs of a 21st Century high-tech economy.

This ADA Education Fund study examines public attitudes, nationally and among key demographic groups, regarding this goal with particular emphasis on public attitudes -- and perceived student access -- regarding publicly funded institutions, private non-profit institutions, and private for-profit institutions.
