OECD comparison finds U.S.A. millennials lagging

An OECD comparison of U.S.A. students on Educational Testing Service (ETS) scores shows that they lag behind their peers in a number of other countries. A key variable that was not controlled is the cultural and socio-economic diversity of the sample, with Finland, Japan, Sweden, Netherlands, and Norway coming out on top in ETS-measured outcomes. Still, the fact that contemporary U.S.A. students do not have comparable literacy, numeracy, and problem solving skills may present a vulnerability in the workforce of the future.
