According to the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress reading and math exams<\/a>, 4th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> graders fell behind in reading and had the largest ever decline in math: \u201cIf this is not a wake-up call for us to double down our efforts and improve education, even before it was \u2013 before the pandemic, then I don\u2019t know what will,\u201d commented US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona on the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
