America’s Pressing Challenge – Building a Stronger Foundation

The National Science Board has released its biennial report to the President, Science and Engineering Indicators 2006, and a companion document, America’s Pressing Challenge – Building a Stronger Foundation.

  • America’s Pressing Challenge — Building a Stronger Foundation: “Nearly a quarter century ago, the National Science Board’s Commission on Precollege Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology[1] assessed the state of U.S. precollege education in the subject fields and found it wanting. In the intervening years, we have failed to raise the achievement of U.S. students commensurate with the goal articulated by that Commission—that U.S. precollege achievement should be “best in the world by 1995″—and many other countries have surpassed us.”
