Unfortunately, international studies have revealed that American students are falling behind in science and math. The low scores of our students on these major tests provide a worrying indication that most of our kids are not being taught the skills they need to prepare for a world that is increasingly shaped by science and technology. To ensure our children have the knowledge they need to succeed in the global economy, we must prioritize science education in the U.S. Through hard work and dedication, our schools can help create an environment where students can develop the skills necessary to excel in science and mathematics. With appropriate focus on science education, we can ensure that our students are ready to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving world.
