Mathematics
In mathematics literacy, 27 percent of U.S. students scored at or above proficiency level 4. This is lower than the
32 percent of students in the OECD countries on average that scored at or above level 4.

Among the 33 other OECD countries, 6 countries had higher average scores than the United States, 13 had

By 2018, we will need 22 million new college
degrees—but will fall short of that number by at least
3 million postsecondary degrees, Associate’s or
better. In addition, we will need at least 4.7 million
new workers with postsecondary certificates.

Overall
In 2008 in the United States, there were 325,000

who were not enrolled in high school and who had
not earned a high school credential.

Out of 34 countries, the United States ranked 14th
in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math. Those
scores are all higher than those from 2003 and
2006, but far behind the highest scoring countries,
including South Korea, Finland and Singapore, Hong
Kong and Shanghai in China and Canada.

The value of Early Childhood Education
Quality early education is essential to healthy brain development and is
the necessary first step in a child’s education. The circuits for key
functions such as vision/hearing, language, and higher cognitive function
develop most in the first five years of life. The creation of these circuits is
affected by a child’s early learning environment. Bad experiences actually
chew away at brain connections, while good quality experiences spur
healthy development. After age five, the number of new connections
slows, making it more difficult to build the necessary cognitive and social
skills.

Children who participate in quality early education programs are more
likely to do well in school and on academic achievement tests, graduate
high school and attend college.

Positive brain development
“The brain undergoes its most
rapid development in the first
three years of life, and in this
development the environment
plays a central role. Nerve
connections that are associated
with specific skills such as
language are developed during
this critical period.”

childhood the impact can be
devastating.”

have chronic diseases as adults, such as diabetes and heart
disease, and cancer; early education helps prevent toxic stress
for young children.

A level playing field for future achievement for
all children
Children affected by risks such as
living in low-income families or
low educational level of mother
are more likely to enter school
unprepared and fall behind.
When they receive quality early
education, at-risk children can
make up developmental gaps in
early years, enter kindergarten at
grade level
Differences in vocabulary growth between children
in low and high socio-economic households
begin to appear as early as 18 months

“The average working parent in America misses five to
nine days of work per year because of child care
problems. This costs U.S. businesses $3 billion a year.
Research confirms that if parents have quality early
care and education available in their communities, not
only will absenteeism and turnover go down, but
productivity will also go up – immediately improving
businesses’ bottom lines.”

The impact of accessible and
reliable child care
 Research has shown that families with access to child care assistance are up to 15
percent more likely to be employed, stay off welfare, and have higher earnings.
 When families are not able to access child care assistance, they may go into debt,
return to public assistance, choose lower quality, less stable child care, or face
untenable choices in their household budgets.
 Child care costs are extraordinarily high for working, low-income families comparable with their housing costs.
 Affordable and reliable child care can be
the difference between self-sufficiency
and improving a family’s quality of life
or depending on public assistance and
supports just to make ends meet.

some form of child care as their

likely to be employed, be
productive, and have fewer
absences.
