General University of Maine Publications

The study is conducted on a five-year basis by students in Professor Robert Milardo's Research Methods in Child Development and Family Relations course.

Why is it, ask puzzled educators and policymakers, that Maine has achieved a 93 percent high school graduation rate, yet only 50 percent of those young people choose to further their education and, thus, their opportunities? The riddle has a simple answer, and contrary to popular opinion, it's neither cost nor access.
