Virginia residents who weren't born in the Commonwealth are better educated
than those who were.
That's according to a new University of Virginia study.
Seventy-five percent of native Virginians had high-school diplomas
in 19-90, compared to 78 percent of foreign-born Virginians.
More foreign-born residents had bachelor degrees than native residents,
and almost 15 percent of foreign-born residents had graduate or
professional degrees compared to ten percent of natives.
The study was by Donna Tolson of U-V-A's Weldon Cooper Center for Public
