Summary or Abstract: The National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE) aims to engage realistic and actionable discussions about the mobility and educational opportunities for AAPIs and how distinctions of race, ethnicity, language, and other cultural factors play out in the day-to-day operations of American schools throughout the educational spectrum. In particular, this project provides needed new data on key issues and trends for the access and participation of Asian American and Pacific Islanders in U.S. higher education.
