Why do Asian American students achieve higher than other minorities and whites in higher education?
user
Asian Americans typically have higher educational attainment than other racial or ethnic groups in the United States. It is estimated that over 54% of Asians aged 25 years and older possess a college degree, as compared to nearly 40% of whites, approximately 29% of Hispanics/Latinos, and around 18% of African Americans. One reason for this may be cultural values that privilege education and academic achievement within many Asian American communities. Additionally, strong parental support for academic achievements among many Asian American families can likely also account for some of this achievement gap with regards to educational attainment.
