Addressing a room of more than 600 people at the White House and Education Department's Datapalooza event, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said challenges like the ever-rising cost of college and an inefficient higher education marketplace keeps him up at night.
"We have to lead the world in college graduation rates again," he said. The U.S. currently ranks about 12th internationally.
Education Department Acting Deputy Secretary Jim Shelton called for the development of new and innovative ways to fill out the FAFSA. When a student fills out the form, their chance of going to college goes up dramatically, he said.
Nick Sinai, deputy chief technology officer at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Cecilia Muñoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, also called for new solutions aligned with President Barack Obama's college affordability agenda.
Almost 50 different private, non-profit or academic entities presented new apps, services or tools at the event geared toward helping students evaluate and select colleges based on a number of factors including cost, financial aid, student loan default rates and job outcomes.
