We found that many aspiring young Black and Latino students across the nation show a love for #science early on and express an interest in pursuing it as a career. They want to discover something new, to make a difference, and to help their families & their communities, like @KizzyPhD.
WASHINGTON — Despite students saying that STEM courses are their favorite subject areas and that they aspire to go to college, Black and Latino students and students from low-income backgrounds continue to be excluded from crucial learning opportunities available through AP STEM courses, according to a new report from Education Trust and Equity Opportunity Schools, Shut Out: Why Black and Latino Students are Under-Enrolled in AP STEM Courses.
2 in 5 Black & Latino students say STEM courses are their favorite. But only 3% are enrolled in AP STEM. Why are they being shut out? There are many Black and Latino students who enjoy science and want to pursue it as a career. And more than half of STEM college students said they decided on their major well before they graduated high school. So, why are so few Black and Latino students enrolled in AP STEM courses?
