40% of Puerto Ricans over the age of 25 do not have a high school diploma.

16% of Puerto Rican children live under the poverty line.

40% of public school graduates that enroll in the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, need to take remedial courses.

This is the bleak situation that Puerto Rico faces today.  If we do not break this vicious cycle, we will fall behind socially and economically.  Some of the consequences include:

The increase of social ills and the decay of our standard of living.

A severe shortage of skilled and knowledgeable employees which will lead to missed economic opportunities in an increasingly competitive and integrated worldwide labor market.

Continuing decreases in foreign and multinational investment in Puerto Rico.
