who is most likely to be referred for remedial reading instruction
Remedial education Estimates on the portion of students in higher education taking remedial courses vary. At two-year colleges the percentage reported of students taking at least 1 remedial course varies from 41% to as high as 60%,.[7][8] Students from low-income households, African American students and Hispanic students are more likely to enroll in remedial courses.[7] National estimates show that among two-year college students, students age 17-19 are most likely to enroll in remedial courses followed by students age 20-24 and then students age 25+.[9]
