That number won’t reach 60 percent until 2041, according to predictions by the Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit educational testing company that administers the GRE among other tests. Obama said that by 2019, 60 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 would have a college degree. Marcus reports the U.S. Today, the U.S.
These findings sync up with another new report, released this month by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, or WICHE, which says that the number of 18-year-olds nationwide who graduate from high school each year and are therefore candidates for college will erode by 13 percent , or nearly half a million, by 2041.
At this rate, the target won’t be met until at least 2041 , the research arm of the nonprofit Educational Testing Service, or ETS, predicts. It will take until at least 2056 for 60 percent of all working-age Americans — not just 25- to 34-year-olds —to have college educations of some kind, ETS calculates.
