According to the American education statistics provided the NAEP assessments, in the year 2000 only a mere thirty two percent of fourth graders know how to read proficiently while only twenty six percent are good in math, twenty nine percent in science and only eighteen percent good at history.

For twelfth graders, there was a downward spiral of decline in most subjects taught in school so the graduation rate dropped significantly.

Half of the poorer students in school fail the normal level of the NAEP assessments in almost all of the subjects offered in most schools.

About seventy one percent of the students in 1998 graduated on time from their high school programs.

Only half of the children who were minorities even graduated.

The State of Georgia according to the American education statistics, had a very low rate of graduation at fifty four percent and the State of Iowa had the highest graduation rate at nine three percent.

The alarming fact is that only nine percent of students that dropped out of college earned a GED or equivalent.

Higher Education

Half of the students that go to college take financial aid and some of them drop out in the middle of their school year because of lack of finances.

Children opt to attend local community college instead of Universities because it is cheaper to do so.

In some cases, the family is so broken down that the child who graduates feel a need to go to look for a regular low income job instead of going to college.

The cost of higher education tops the list in the things that President Obama has on his long schedule of things to accomplish in the education arena.

Children are being left behind even though they are smart because parents have no money to send them away to college to earn a degree.

President Obama is offering students help with their college finances if they will commit to giving back public service when they graduate.

American education statistics imply that this is a good plan to get students to realize that going to college is the best way for them to be more productive members of society.

Global Comparison

Out of about thirty eight country comparisons, America’s eight graders ranked nineteenth on the list in Math and Science.

American education is substandard when it comes to some international comparisons.

Technology has taken over the classrooms of countries that realize the need to meet the younger generation at the levels in which they excel.

Students today do better with new technology and the opportunity it provides with learning more intuitively and visually.

However, it will take a lot of funding and finance to create a technological education system as the international counterparts are already experiencing.

Countries that have the finances to embrace technology are way ahead of the school system according to American education statistics.

A computer in classrooms for every child is one of the ways that global education is administered. Doing this helps the child to have a hands-on learning experience.
