Lumina's Goal

When the United States first increased the achievement rate of young people 's higher education to 40% in the 1970' s, it represents a great success of Japan 's efforts to educate the baby boomers generation. Unfortunately we stopped 40% when other countries caught up with them for the first time. Today, in some countries, including Korea and Canada, we have a university degree awarded to over 50% of young people. In addition, the speed at which they increase their achievement does not show signs of slowing

Despite the strong US momentum recently, the international comparison data prepared by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that the US is still behind the global competitors. The United States is now ranked 11th in the world higher education, but the pace of achievement of young people is even more anxious. According to OECD data, 64% of Korean young people aged 25 to 34 are receiving higher education. This ratio is close to 60% in Japan and Canada and 41% in the United States.

Recent data indicate that Americans are concerned about the low rate of accomplishment of the country and they are ready to act leaders. In the latest Gallup / Lumina poll, 90% of Americans have discovered that it is important to increase university entrance in the United States. 89% of Americans report that higher education institutions need to change to better meet the needs of today's students
