In partnership with the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC), HEQCO has published a new package of research that attempts to better understand the full impacts of postsecondary non-completion. Non-completion carries major economic and social costs: students earn significantly less, institutions lose funding, governments do not get the full return on their investment and society faces skills gaps in the workforce. The report, brief and accompanying blog post and infographic illustrate the overall benefits of postsecondary education (PSE), whether or not a student completes a credential.
