Strengthening Education
President Bush’s Strengthening Education: Meeting the Challenge of a Changing World initiative also mentions that some of the other challenges facing American college students.
- America’s share of the world’s science and engineering doctorates is predicted to fall to 15 percent by 2010.
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs requiring science, engineering or technical training will increase 24 percent between 2004 – 2014 to 6.3 million.
- An applicant for a production associate’s job at a modern automobile plant has to have the math skills equivalent to the most basic achievement level on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) math test to meet company proficiency requirements, a threshold that almost half of 17-year-olds do not meet.
