As part of the Lumina Foundation’s Productivity Initiative, Public Agenda partnered with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and the Pathways Project to elevate the voices of students in the state level conversations around retention, persistence, and completion of postsecondary education. Public Agenda conducted a series of focus groups across Texas with both current students and those who started but didn’t complete their education at two- and four-year institutions for the report "With Their Whole Lives Ahead of Them". In this video, students talk about the barriers they face and the ways that high schools and colleges help or hurt them in reaching their goals.
