　　Overseas Network October 14th　According to a report by CNN on the 13th, the average score of American high school graduates in the College Entrance Examination (ACT) dropped to the lowest level in 30 years, and more than 40% of the candidates failed all the examination subjects.

　　The comprehensive average ACT score of the class of 2022 is 19.8 (with a total score of 36), which is lower than 20 for the first time since 1991. More importantly, more and more senior high school students have failed to reach any subject passing line set by ACT, indicating that their preparation for university courses has declined. According to the ACT report, among the 2022 graduates who took the ACT exam, 42% did not reach the passing line in any subject of English, reading, science and mathematics. In contrast, in 2021, 38% of candidates failed to reach the passing line of all subjects.

　　CNN9 reported in September that the math and reading scores of 9-year-old children in the United States also plummeted from 2020 to 2022, falling to a level not seen in decades. Peggy Carr, Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, said that it was not just the epidemic that interrupted students’ learning. Shooting on campus, violence, interruption of classes, shortage of teaching staff and absenteeism, cyber bullying, and students seeking mental health services are also increasing. These information may explain the serious decline of American students’ grades.
