Keep Focus on Math and Science
Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:
The United States is falling behind China and India in producing scientists and mathematicians, raising serious questions about America's economic future.
While the national scene is troubling, Wisconsin enjoys some bright spots.
State students consistently score above the national average on the ACT college admissions test, especially in math and science. An increasing number 69 percent of 2005 graduates took the test.
To compete in the global knowledge-based economy, Wisconsin must continue its commitment to math and science education and encourage more students to take related courses.
There's been a great deal of
discussion on these issues here.
