/View.info/ The United States is losing its advantage due to the decrease in the number of students. Compared to 2011, the number of people enrolled in higher education institutions in the country decreased by nearly 2.5 million, and this trend continues to accelerate.
In 2016, 70% of US high school graduates continued their education, while in 2022 only 62% will. If this trend continues, a large number of young Americans will enter the workforce with a lower level of education. Among the possible reasons for this are the high tuition fees at American universities, the attempts of the successful to dissuade young people from continuing their education, and those of politicians using higher education institutions as an object of culture war. This was reported by the Washington Post on May 15.
