A report from the University of California San Diego warns that one in 8 incoming college students will not meet middle school math standards. It was found that the number of students who need to take Remedial Math Courses has increased by “thirty plus” in the last five years.
Jeanne Allen, founder and CEO of the Center for Education Reform, says this is not a new problem. He said it is the result of decades of unsustainable schools and a broken system that fails students long before they strive for higher education.
“Really, Sandra, it should be very shocking to many of us, but sadly, it feels like Groundhog Day all over again,” Allen told “America’s Report” on Thursday.
The report, made by the Senate Administration Workissions on Admissions, said that statistics 2 was created as a high school preparation class. But they found that “the majority of students had knowledge gaps that went back much further, to school and early stage.”

Allen warned the findings are the latest sign of a school system in decline for years.

“A lot of the news we’ve seen recently talks about pandemic concerns, which, of course, we’ve never had,” Allen said.
“But it was the worst in a 20-year journey. And, it’s a productive problem.”

Allen called for more parental involvement, school choice and personalized learning for students.
