The Lumina Foundation aimed to raise the college credential attainment among U.S. adults to 60% by 2025 but fell short at 55%. Recognizing changing times, Lumina's new 2040 goal prioritizes earning a "credential of value," which not only signifies having a degree but also achieving an income of at least 15% above the high school graduate average. This strategic shift aims to address growing concerns over the perceived value of higher education amidst labor market demands that increasingly require postsecondary education.
"Our view is that we've got to do more to transform higher education workforce systems in order to meet human talent needs, in order to expand economic prosperity for individuals and for families and for communities."
"Jamie Merisotis called it one of the most significant but least recognized success stories of the past decade and a half."
