Help college students with child care, says the Appleton Post-Crescent.
We know Wisconsin is lagging in college graduation rates. Only about 25 percent of adults age 25 or older in the state hold a bachelor’s degree, compared with 30 percent in Minnesota. The national average is about 27 percent.
The state will subsidize child care for full-time college students — but only for two years — while low-income parents working full time can receive unlimited day care assistance.
