Content: Educational Background
Most Hispanics who have migrated to the U.S have low education levels. They might not have even finished high school or didn’t attend basic elementary education. This makes it difficult for them to stress the importance of education to their children. The emphasis on working and earning income for the family and the lack of education of parents, makes it much difficult for Hispanics to access higher education, enroll and complete it. Language Difficulties
The U.S has initiated programs for learning the language and around 80% of the students are Hispanic. Hispanics who have migrated to the U.S have difficulties in speaking English. Despite taking English language lessons, they rarely reach average to above average reading comprehension, which makes it difficult for them to succeed in university. In addition, graduate school requires students to have some level of success in a graduate standardized test such as the GRE or the GMAT. To pass these tests, students need to know English at an advanced level so Hispanics and minorities are presented with another difficulty in accessing graduate school education. Cultural Bias
Besides the family backgrounds, finances, and language problems, there is also an inherent cultural bias towards women to complete their education.
