A slumping economy has many young college students keeping a close eye on the cost of education. And with more adults being laid off, community colleges nationwide are quickly becoming a saving grace. Community college administrators have reported enrollment increases anywhere from four to 27 percent, according to Norma Kent, spokewoman for the American Association of Community Colleges. But state and county funding, which traditionally make up two-thirds of school budgets besides tuition, have not kept up with dramatic increases in student enrollment. “(Community colleges) are part of the solution,” Kent said. “If you’re starving part of the solution, that’s not a good thing. Colleges are understandably concerned.” Some officials say they are thrilled to see more students enrolling at their schools but worry the timing may present financial challenges in the near future. “Ideally, you want your enrollment up when the economy is strong,” said Clay Whitlow, executive director for the Maryland Association of Community Colleges. “Because then you’re getting strong funding and can continue things like job training programs that make community colleges so attractive.” Whitlow also said the economy may be a contributing factor to increasing enrollment, but it is not the only one. “Some people just may not feel comfortable at larger four-year universities,” Whitlow said. “Community colleges are usually close to home, smaller class sizes and have more flexible schedules.” The US …

This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from voaspecialenglish.com College enrollment has reached an all-time high in the United States. About forty percent of all eighteen- to twenty-four-year-olds — or almost eleven and a half million — were in school in October of last year. A new report says both numbers are record highs. Richard Fry at the Pew Research Center points to a number of reasons. He says the number of young adults who have finished high school is also now at a record all-time high. Almost eighty-five percent of America’s young adults have finished high school. Another reason for the enrollment increase the recession. The unemployment rate reached a twenty-six year high in October. The economic downturn has hit young adults especially hard. Richard Fry says their job-holding rate is almost at the lowest point in nearly fifty years. In a poor job market, many people turn to higher education, especially at two-year colleges.
