For sure America Educational System needs to improve and I feel it's getting worse, but it's not quite a disaster yet.
But it is falling behind other developed nations and that doesn't look like it will change and becoming a disaster is possible unless the US changes the way it supports education and copy ,the best of how the top ranked countries run their educational system and integrate it with America's to fit the population and the different systems each state runs.
>On the most recent PISA test in 2022, the U.S. ranked 20th out of 81 countries and territories, which comprise 90% of the world's economies. Rankings were based on average scores across all three main PISA subjects.
Because America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, there's an expectation that it should rank higher among countries like Japan, South Korea, and Finland, ranked third, fifth, and 12th, respectively, known for their outstanding education systems. However, a closer look at the data reveals a more nuanced story. While the U.S. does lag behind other developed nations, and some studies show a correlation between economic growth and academic achievement, the exact relationship between economic resources and test scores is complex. And that's especially true in a country as expansive and diverse as America.
For one thing, the U.S. had the largest population out of any country the OECD tracked in 2022. It also has a decentralized education system, where what students learn varies tremendously depending on their state or even their county. Many other countries have only a single national curriculum.<
Does the American education system really lag behind other countries?
Numerade analyzed data from the OECD to see how the U.S. compares with the rest of the world in its academic performance.
That's said : Hopefully Tate's leadership will help make Rutgers University one of the best in the world academically and have it's athletic programs considered among the elite
