In a recent international assessment of 15-year-old students, the U.S. ranked 28th in math literacy and 24th in science literacy. Moreover, the U.S. ranks 20th among all nations in the proportion of 24-year-olds who earn degrees in natural science or engineering. 2008 Congressional Research Study “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education: Background, Federal Policy, and Legislative Action”
