| Recent America's Promise Alliance carried out research on national high school graduation rates. It is a private (私人的) group helping children receive services they need to succeed. On Tuesday it held a meeting and made its new report known, saying only about half of all students in the main schools of America's largest cities finish high school. The report also noted higher rates (比率) of graduation-more than 70%-in the areas around the cities. Researchers carried out this study in the nation's fifty largest cities. They used a new system of measurement called the cumulative promotion index (累计增长指数) to find graduation rates. That is because different areas use different methods to find graduation rates. Meanwhile, many methods do not give a true picture of the number of students who finish high school. Colin Powell was chairman of this private group when it was formed in 1997. He attended the meeting Tuesday where the report was made. He said studies have shown that the United States must do more to educate the leadets and work force of the future. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke. She said the government will ask states to use the same method when reporting graduation rates. Colin Powell also announced (宣布) the start of a nationwide activity to improve graduation rates. It is to include many meetings to be held in every state over the next two years. The meetings will bring together government leaders,business owners, students, parents and education officials. They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school. |
