Mainland Chinese Students Are Now the Best in the World at Math, Science and Reading
Students from four mainland Chinese locales have taken the top spot in a global benchmarking test, edging out previous topnotcher Singapore, based on survey results released Tuesday. Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) assessed the performance of 15-year-old students in science, mathematics and reading from 79 education systems worldwide.

CPT (Join to see) - I was part of the last class at the Penn State Wilks Barre Campus to be taught the slide rule in the year of 77-78. It seems like such a long time ago now.
