Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. On Thursday September 13th Vice President
Joe Biden will deliver remarks at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institutes (CHCI) 35th Anniversary Awards Gala. Hispanics will continue to drive the growth of Americas labor force in the coming decades accounting for
60 of the nations population growth between 2005 and 2050.
CHCI established by a small group of Hispanic Members of Congress in 1978 serves nearly 1700 young Latinos annually with
educational services and leadership development designed to promote college readiness support college attainment and provide direct access for students to national political leadership.
CHCI awards $400000 every year in college scholarships to Latino students with financial need and already approximately 1 of every 4 students in K-12 public education is Hispanic.
If America is going to have the strongest most competitive work force and lead the 21st century economy and if were going to meet the Presidents goal of having the highest percentage of high school graduates in
the world by 2020 then we have to improve the educational outcomes of Hispanics.
