Perceptions of Postsecondary Education and Training in Rural Areas
Rural communities are not a monolith; they have unique challenges that require unique policy solutions. One of the best ways to understand the diversity of those challenges — and, in turn, identify the most effective solutions — is to hear directly from rural communities. This Special Report analyzes data from a 2020 Strada Education Network/Gallup survey on the perceptions of postsecondary education and training, focusing on the responses from rural residents specifically. In general, rural respondents answered favorably when asked about motivations for past and future education and indicated perceived value in pursuit of education and training. However, most respondents indicated they would not pursue additional education and training in the next five years, in part because of the barriers they identified — including COVID-19, costs in general, and uncertainty in career pathways.

The Most Important Door that Will Ever Open: Realizing the Mission of Higher Education Through Equitable Admissions Policies
In signing the Higher Education Act of 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson described education as “the most important door that will ever open.” Earning a college credential can mean a better living and a better life for students and their families. But to earn that credential, students must first navigate the admissions process. Education is indeed a door, but recruitment, admissions, and enrollment policies and practices dictate how wide that door is open. Left unexamined, these policies and practices often limit opportunities for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and underrepresented Asian American and Pacific Islander students and students from low-income backgrounds. It’s time to rethink these policies. It’s time to open the door for all of today’s students.
