From the Paper:

"The staggering statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics will further validate my beliefs that public education is superb. The National Center for Education Statistics, or NCES, is located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences. This section of the department of education is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education. In 1972 only 49 percent of students in postsecondary education enrolled in 2-year and 4- year colleges immediately after high school; now that statistic has climbed to 69 percent."
