I think one of the biggest problems, in addition to economics, that lead to the poor enrollment and graduation rate today is the lack of values. Most of us (30 to 50) try our best to give our children all the things that our parents could not afford while ignoring all the social values that fuel ambition. These values are not automatic so we need to teach and live the way we want our children to. It's known that examples are the best way to learn so let's all re evaluate our reasoning and put some effort in portraying good values that will give our offsprings, not only an obligation for higher education but a need.
