A rebounding economy, prevalence of Covid-19 vaccines and in-person learning may not be enough to draw students who have turned their backs on a postsecondary education
.
“If we don't go get these students, there are students who just aren't going to show up at our institutions,” Wil Del Pilar, The Education Trust’s vice president of higher education policy and practice, said in an interview. “Low-income students and students of color don't take a gap year — they leave school and then we've lost them in higher ed.”
“Building that culture of college going in schools, helping ensure that every student gets tapped on the shoulder to have that conversation about their postsecondary plans — that's been the hardest thing to translate to virtual for us,” Schooley said.Students who dropped out of college because of the shift to online learning or to help support their families by working are facing significant administrative hurdles as they try to get back into school.
Without being able to hold in-person events to assist multiple families at a time, advising groups are reaching out to students and their families individually using email and social media platforms like Instagram. On average, about 26 percent of Baltimore City Public School graduates are “neither in the workforce nor in college the fall after they graduated,” according to Rachel Pfeifer, BCPS' executive director of college and career readiness.
