President Obama Renews White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics

On October 18, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics hosted a summit on Hispanic education. The next day, President Obama signed an executive order to renew the initiative. The initiative first began as an executive order signed by President George H.W. Bush in 1990.


The summit attendees included school administrators, college presidents, and Latino advocates, while topics included reduction of the dropout rate, improved connections between pre-K-12 and postsecondary education, and passage of the “DREAM Act.”
