最近的政策报告称，美国在科学和数学教育方面落后于其他国家，毕业的科学家和工程师数量不足。对实际毕业率和劳动力需求的证据和分析的审查并没有发现这些说法的支持。美国学生的表现排名与其他领先国家相当，大学毕业生的科学家和工程师数量远远多于每年聘用的科学家和工程师数量。相反，证据表明，需要针对表现最差的人进行有针对性的教育改进，而需求方因素可能不足以吸引合格的大学毕业生。
Recent policy reports claim the United States is falling behind other nations in science and math education and graduating insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers. Review of the evidence and analysis of actual graduation rates and workforce needs does not find support for these claims. U.S. student performance rankings are comparable to other leading nations and colleges graduate far more scientists and engineers than are hired each year. Instead, the evidence suggests targeted education improvements are needed for the lowest performers and demand-side factors may be insufficient to attract qualified college graduates.
