Key points
- This does not match anecdotal reports coming out of schools, which suggest widespread declines, although those are presumably untrustworthy and it’s traditional to think children are in general getting dumber.
- Of 360,000 children aged 15 in Zambia only five (not 5%, 5 total) could read at “globally proficient levels.”
- Oli (top comment): There are two private schools in the capital, Lusaka, American International School of Lusaka and International School of Lusaka.
- SAT scores and other objective measures fight income inequality in college admissions.
