The results are in for one of the most important global rankings in education — and the scores for the United States aren't good.
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a test completed by more than 500,000 15-year-old students in 72 countries every three years in order to measure how each country's education system is stacking up globally. Students work through two hours of problems related to "science, mathematics, reading, collaborative problem solving and financial literacy" and their scores are analyzed to determine where each country is falling short in education.
NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday he has settled on ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state, saying that he's "among the most accomplished business leaders and international deal makers in the world."
"Rex Tillerson's career is the embodiment of the American dream. Through hard work, dedication and smart deal making, Rex rose through the ranks to become CEO of ExxonMobil, one of the world's largest and most respected companies," the billionaire real estate mogul said in a predawn news release from Trump Tower in New York.
