Education Secretary: Too many adults lack sufficient skills for job advancement because of the cost of higher education. Businesses should partner with educators to create curricula that are tailored to the needs of these people, thus increasing the likelihood that the cost of enrollment will be a safe investment.
Union Leader: What good is altering the curricula if students simply do not have the funds to enroll or the time to attend? What we need are more generous educational grants targeted to working adults, and more flexible work hours for working students.
Both the education secretary and the union leader make the point that
A. the cost of higher education for many adults is prohibitively high
B. many adult students do not have the time to attend courses in higher education
C. the cost of higher education is unfairly high
D. many adult students will not attend classes in higher education unless they are convinced that doing so will be a good investment.
E. the current curricula in most higher education institutions is not properly focused on teaching the skills that are necessary for job advancement.

I chose C but the OA makes sense.
The common point that crops up in both the arguments is the cost of education.
Option B states that adults don't have the time and this opinion is exclusive to Union Leader (UL) and the Education Secretary (ES) doesn't echo the fact. Option D is kind of supported by the statements of ES only and not the UL. Point E is again kind of echoed by ES only. SO we can eliminate B, D, E.
Out of A & C, both talk about the common point: The cost of education, however option A makes it more specific by talking about adult students around whom the discussion is based. Option C comes across as too general (which I missed).
Hence I believe the OA is option A.
