If there were a low-cost public education intervention that increased college completion rates for disadvantaged students â say, a policy that provided a return on investment of $15 for each dollar spent â wouldnât it be a no-brainer to fully embrace it?
Such a policy exists in Massachusetts, albeit in embryonic form. Itâs early college high schools, the partnership between high schools and local higher education institutions that allows 11th- and 12th-graders â typically low-income, Black, and Latino students â to take free college courses and help them transition into college. The concept has been around for a few years, but it has now evolved into a state-funded, certified program that includes nearly 40 high schools and 19 colleges and universities serving almost 2,900 students as of last fall.

That an incoming U.S. president devoted part of his inaugural address to insist that facts are, in fact, factual reveals just how much of a beating the truth has taken.

This phenomenon is widely known as “post truth.”
