A survey by the Paris-based OECD has revealed a significant decline in global learning standards since 2000, attributed to higher rates of mobile phone usage for leisure and teacher shortages. Scotland's education performance, particularly in math, science, and reading, has worsened under the SNP government. However, there is a positive trend in financial literacy among high school students, with more states requiring personal finance courses. The OECD's latest round of exams in reading, math, and science has brought disappointing results, prompting the need for informed decisions about higher education costs and student loans. Additionally, the Biden administration is proposing changes to require states to provide evidence that welfare funds benefit low-income families.
