The National Center for Education Statistics charted a significant decline in literacy of adults across education levels in the period from 1992 to 2003. Alarmingly, they showed that 69% of college graduates couldn’t read any reasonably complex material with an acceptable level of understanding, and even 41% of candidates for higher degrees were not proficient in reading. Studies by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa in their 2011 book, Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses, tracked students during college and found “limited or no learning for a large proportion of students.” That must also reflect failure of K-12 schooling to prepare students adequately. What is behind this dismal picture?
