Loading ...‘Everything is just going down’: US students are getting WORSE at math as science and reading skills stagnate
Americans students are having major math problems and have fallen behind the rest of the world, a new study has revealed.
The latest global snapshot of student performance shows declining math scores in the U.S., while performances in science and reading stagnated.
The concerning findings were part of the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) study, which looks into the performance of more than 500,000 15-year-olds across schools in more than 70 countries. Just under 6,000 students took part in American schools.
The top performing country in all three categories was Singapore, while Hong Kong and Macau were second and third in mathematics. Japan and Estonia, and Canada and Hong Kong rounded out the top-three in science and reading, respectively.
The U.S. ranked 40th in math, 24th in reading, and 25th in science.
