US Adults Call College Very Important at Record Low 31%

Culture19 days ago

A new Gallup poll reveals that the share of people prioritizing a university education has decreased across various demographic groups. Only 31% of respondents now describe a college degree as "very important," a decline of 4 percentage points from last year and the lowest percentage recorded since Gallup began asking the question in 1978.

Public sentiment has shifted toward a more neutral view of higher education, causing the divide between those who see college as very important and those who rate it as not too important to shrink to 2 points. That same gap was 64 points in 2013.
