"The partnership between Fairfax County schools and Northern Virginia Community College sets [Mayra] Avila, one of six children, on a path to earn a bachelor's degree," The Washington Post reports. "President Obama, who set the goal of having the United States claim the highest share of college graduates of any country by 2020, is counting on the success of students such as Avila, a Mexican immigrant whose parents never finished high school. One approach policymakers are harnessing to help students such as her: dual enrollment programs that lower tuition and attract students who don't think college is within reach."
