Calls for Free Community College as Fewer Go During Pandemic

HE leaders hail Biden plan to boost access and retention

HE leaders hail Biden plan to boost access and retention United States President Joe Biden has proposed to Congress a US$109 billion plan to provide two free years of community college education to all Americans, “so that every student has the ability to obtain a degree or certificate”. In addition, he is calling for a substantial hike in the level of Pell Grants for students from economically disadvantaged families to help them seek a certificate or a two- or four-year degree, requiring a further US$80 billion investment. Biden is proposing to raise the maximum Pell Grant award by US$1,400, provide two years of subsidised tuition to historically black colleges and other minority-serving institutions for students from families who earn less than US$125,000 and are enrolled in a four-year college, and establish a grant programme to fund student success services at colleges that serve a high number of low-income students.
