U.S. public education spending providing little results

(LIBERTY NATION) – The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released new Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data evaluating how 15-year-olds are faring in mathematics, reading, and science. The U.S. government spends about 6% of its GDP on education, more than most North American and European countries. Therefore, the United States should be putting its rivals to shame and producing a generation of intellectually astute students. Right?
As expected, because governments and teachers are more focused on social justice, 2SLGBTQIA studies, and inappropriate sex education, America’s youth are falling behind the rest of the world in critical areas, potentially placing the country at a competitive disadvantage in the decades to come.
The OECD’s 2022 global education survey, the first PISA study published since the coronavirus pandemic, revealed that students in 37 member countries and 44 partner nations have experienced setbacks, whether in literacy or math. The average international mathematics score has tumbled by 15 points since 2018 (20 points is viewed as a year of learning). Science scores were roughly unchanged while reading fell by about ten points.
