Community colleges are increasingly concerned about the large number of students who require remedial education and never make it into college-level classes. And a new study confirms what some have long suspected: Many students don’t even attempt to take remedial classes.
According to the study, 36 percent of those referred to remedial mathematics did not complete their precollege work because they did not enroll in a required course. Likewise, 27 percent of those who required remedial English failed to enroll in a required course.
