Just Equations Executive Director Pamela Burdman and Research Fellow Marcelo Almora Rios examine the big picture of declining math preparation, and caution against sweeping conclusions from the recent UC San Diego report and resulting news coverage.
Burdman and Almora Rios write: “There is no question that declining math preparation is a real concern nationally, but UCSD’s situation provides a myopic perspective at best. Viewing it solely through the lens of admissions testing, as many recent opinion pieces have done, also misses the big picture.”
