"The percentage of both Hispanic and black adults, age 25 and older, who hold at least a high school diploma climbed by about 8 percentage points between 2000 and 2008.... For Hispanics it reached 61 percent, and for African-Americans, 81 percent. But those numbers were still well below the 90 percent of white adults with at least that credential.
While these increases are welcome, there is an underlying concern pointed out in the Brookings report: as minority groups, particularly Hispanics, become a much larger share of the U.S. population, "... the nation's overall education attainment levels could slip, given how much ground Latinos still need to make up."

This is interesting but the USA is made up of more than just Hispanics and African Americans, what about the other minorities such as Native Americans? Talk about discrepancy ?!?!

I will be very happy if there will be no difference between white and black .
And it is to be done from the early childhood development .
