Because one must persevere to participate in higher education, the &#8220;educational pipeline&#8221; is important in reaching one&#8217;s goals. This pipeline has five major points of leakage: high school graduation, college entrance, college graduation, graduate or professional school entrance, &amp; completion of the latter. During the study period, the % of African-American high school graduates increased by almost 10%, yet college entry rates actually declined. Viewing the education system as a pipeline enables one to see how the transition points are interrelated; teachers, administrators, &amp; parents must be aware of this situation to effectively intervene in the process. Suggestions are made for achieving an integrated learning system, encouraging sustained educational participation, &amp; enhancing governmental financial aid. To ignore the unique educational &amp; socioeconomic situation of African Americans will result in less palatable forced choices in the future, for them &amp; for society as a whole. 5 Tables, 35 References.<\/p>\n<p>Access to full article can be found here:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/02732173.1991.9981953<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MCJAMERSON, E.
