Value of Public Higher Education in Texas
Postsecondary Education Linked to Volunteerism, Better Health: In addition to showing much higher levels of civic engagement, Americans with education beyond high school also report having better physical health. Gallup surveyed U.S. adults in November 2022 to measure the extent to which they believe that a more educated society can help produce desirable outcomes for individuals and society. The outcomes tested include higher incomes, increased citizen participation, more business creation, and better mental and physical health. Majorities of Americans agree that additional education helps to produce 14 of the 19 desirable conditions, particularly fostering innovation and discovery, raising income levels and creating a more knowledgeable citizenry (August 30, 2023)
