Raising Up the Voice of Postsecondary Parent Learners

1 in 5 postsecondary students are balancing academics and parenthood. These learners face unique challenges that require targeted assistance, but often go unrecognized on campuses and in the minds of decision-makers due to the lack of specific data on their parenting status. Learn about the challenges parent learners face in pursuing higher education and the supports that make persistence possible. Also, join us in launching Education Design Lab’s Parent Learner Hub, a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to elevate resources tailored specifically to the needs of parent learners.
