The Boston Globe ran this editorial: A wake-up call for science education.
The latest alarm bell just rang and it’s official. The United States is once again missing from the list of top-10 science and math education countries. A new Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study confirmed that America lags behind many other industrialized countries at the task of preparing tomorrow’s labor force. Long-term economic growth depends on a fully competent talent pool, including workers who can excel in a technology-based economy. But young people in many less-developed countries now outperform their American counterparts in both science and math.
I mentioned this study back when it was released in December. But the Globe’s editorial is still relevant.
But we’re Number One in creation science. Surely that counts for something.
