US Education Ranked 28th Out Of 38

The United States is falling behind the rest of the world when it comes to educating children. A new report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that the United States ranks a dismal 28th out of 38 developed nations when it comes to enrolling kids in early childhood education. In America, only 69% of four-year-olds are enrolled in education programs – compared to 95% in nations like France, Mexico, and Spain. It just so happens that the United States also spends far less public money on early education programs than other developed nations in Europe. Our priorities in America must be re-ordered if we want to compete in the global economy this century.
