Better Data on Student Parents: Support and Understanding Their Needs

This Act aims to collect more precise data on students who are parents or caregivers. This will help colleges and the government better understand their challenges, potentially leading to more effective support programs like childcare or financial aid. Citizens will have access to information on how institutions support student parents.
Key points
Colleges will collect data on the number of student parents, their marital status, income, use of on-campus childcare, and graduation rates.
The Department of Education will conduct a study on best practices of institutions that support student parents, and the findings will be made public.
The goal is to better tailor support, such as childcare programs, financial aid, and other services, to the needs of students with dependent children.
