In 2013, the National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE) and the White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders (WHIAAPI) — with generous support from the ETS and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) — launched the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) date quality campaign.
The face of American education from K-12 to higher education is at the crossroads of tremendous demographic changes. According to the 2010 U.S. Census data, the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population is projected to reach nearly 40 million people by 2050. Data also show AAPI students will experience a 35 percent increase in college enrollment over the next decade. AAPI students are undoubtedly a rapidly growing population; and, therefore, supporting them can only produce greater civic engagement, economic growth, and leadership development.
