Kansas is Top 10 in International Education
A recent study done by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute of Ohio reports that most states fail when it comes to giving students a satisfactory foundation in world history. A full 2/3 of our 50 states earned either a “D” or and “F”.
Kansas is not among those, though. Kansas ranks high when it comes to exposing students to international content. In fact, the state received a “B” which is not only respectable but commendable for a state that only just changed its history standards to reflect a more global perspective.
The study was conducted by Walter Russell Mead, historian and foreign policy expert and the Henry A. Kissinger senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. It is first review of state academic standards for K-12 world history. Only eight states earned an “A” while a mere four earned a “B”. Complete state rankings below.
