Baja California Behind Other Border States and National Average in Math and Reading


http://www.lacronica.com

December 15, 2004

An international education assessment completed by the the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranks Baja California below Mexico's national average in the areas of math, reading, and science. The study, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), was conducted among junior high and high school students in Baja California. Both private and public schools participated in the Baja California part of the study.

All of Mexico's 31 states participated in the assessment with the exception of Michoac?n.

Mexico's Federal District, which is not considered a state but still participated in PISA, ranked second in math, science and reading. In first place in all of these categories was the small, Pacific-coast state Colima. Aguascalientes ranked third in all three categories.

Baja California ranked 17th in math, 21st in reading, and 18th in science.

Chihuahua and Tamaulipas, two other northern border states with large border cities that have experienced much immigration over past decades, did much better than Baja California. Both states ranked among the top eight in Mexico in reading, math and science.
