The Achievement Gaps in Mathematics and Science

  • Chapter

Abstract

In a contemporary society where universal education has become a reality, the focus of attention has shifted from the availability of public education to its quality. There is a widespread perception in the United States that K-12 public education is not at the level it should be. This issue is thought to have a number of negative effects, ranging from the narrowing of career opportunities for students all the way to reducing national competitiveness in an increasingly competitive global economy.
