In this episode of EduTrends, José “Pepe” Escamilla interviews Diego Arambula, Vice President for Education Transformation at the Carnegie Foundation, about how schools and universities can promote social mobility. Arambula explains how the Student Access and Earnings Classification, a system that evaluates institutions based on the economic advancement of their graduates rather than institutional prestige, highlights 478 “Opportunity Colleges and Universities,” defined as schools that help students from underserved backgrounds increase their lifetime earnings and economic stability.
Beyond higher education, Arambula discusses the Future of High School Network, an effort to help high schools across the U.S. design competency-based models that value what students actually learn rather than how long they sit in class. Arambula argues that both high schools and universities must adopt new learning architectures that support lifelong development, equity, and human flourishing. For him, transforming education is not just about systems; it’s about creating meaningful, dignified futures for every learner.
