From bill analysis: According to Closing the Gaps by 2015: 2004 Progress Report, participation in higher education among Hispanics is lagging behind that of other demographic groups. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) estimated that Texas must increase Hispanic college enrollment by an additional 48,041 students to reach the 2005 target for that group. In addition, the percentage of recent high school graduates who enter college is not increasing, suggesting a need to enhance efforts to encourage them to prepare for and succeed in college. Dual-credit programs, which allow high school juniors and seniors to take college-level courses while earning both college and high school credit, have been successful in encouraging high school students to enroll in college, according to the THECB. S.B. 151 establishes a pilot project to encourage at-risk students to participate in dual-credit programs. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/tlo/textframe.cmd?LEG=79&SESS=R&CHAMBER=S&BILLTYPE=B&BILLSUFFIX=00151&VERSION=5&TYPE=B
