Black test scores rise as gap to whites narrows
A study of NAEP results shows black students closing the gap with white peers in basic skills, with verbal scores improving notably. UNC professor Lyle Jones notes the 20 point gap in 1969 vs 10 points now, attributing progress to broad social and political changes and predicting further gains through the 1980s, including SAT improvements as students age into the test.

Campus population seen steady near record in 1980s
The National Center for Education reports this year’s campus population around 12.4 million, with projections to stay above 12 million through the decade despite earlier fears of declines starting in fall 1981. Two-year schools hold 38 percent of the college population, blacks earning bachelor's degrees lag 1975 levels, yet high school completion to college shows gains. Hispanics earned 4,000 more degrees in 1980 but remain 2 percent of all degrees. Equity remains distant, Trent notes.
