Shanghi ranks number one in reading, math, and science, far outspacing their American peers.
"The 2009 PISA data demonstrate the rise in the quality of education in Asia among the top performers were Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Korea," said Tony Jackson, Vice President of Education at the Asia Society. "Aligning education goals to economic development, Asian nations have scoured the world for models of effective education systems, and implemented them consistently through deliberate policies and long-term investments. Any definition of a world-class education must include knowledge of Asia and the language and cultural skills to deal with Asia. It's a two-way street: America must now learn from and with Asia and the world." I agree that America should start paying more attention to what they are doing in Asia so that our children have the best education that they can get. China has obviously been doing a good job with educucating their children. Anything that they can do and succeed with we should try. Education is an important thing exspecially at a young age. These systems could help the children of America.
