U.S. test scores for elementary and high school students in key STEM skills, such as science and math, have lagged behind those of many other countries for years.
Year after year, the results reveal a stark truth: The U.S. is falling behind, leaving the door open for other nations to take the reins in global competitiveness.

In 2020, world averages in computer literacy, as determined by the World Economic Forum, revealed that the OECD countries were not as computer literate as one would expect. About a quarter of individuals did not know how to use a computer. At least 45% were rated poorly, and only 30% were rated as moderately to strongly computer literate.[37]"
