AMERICA SCORED "F"ON NATIONS REPORT CARD
THE 20 LOWEST SCORING STATES IN THE U.S.A. CAN BENEFIT FROM MULTIPLY-EASY
Based on the most recent NAEP Mathematics: State Average Scores (2022), the 20 lowest-scoring jurisdictions in math (combining grade 4 and 8, focusing on lowest average scale scores) include states primarily in the South and West. These, along with other low-performing areas, saw significant declines, with 45% of students scoring below “basic”.

EDUCATION SYSTEM FAILURES ARE DAMAGING BRIGHT FUTures
According to the Wall Street Journal, National Assessment of Educational Progress, (NAEP), The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA ) and other organizations with abilities to monitor world wide educational progress, MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND!
- Philippines ranks among the world's most severe math education emergencies, globally ranking in the bottom six at #76th out of 81.
- Only 16% of Filipino 15-year-olds achieved baseline #math proficiency. Almost no students were top performers (level 5/6). The gap is equivalent to **five to six years of schooling** behind neighboring peers. Performance has not significantly improved since 2018.
THESE ARE NOT STATISTICS, THESE ARE CHILDREN! EACH CHILD HAS POTENTIAL , AND EACH ONE DESERVES BETTER.
KENYA: GRADE 6 Students stuck at grade 3 level
Applying the Multiply-Easy learning model can change this sad truth.
**Alarming Numeracy Gap**: A recent study by Usawa Agenda reveals that 30% of Grade 6 learners in Kenya cannot solve basic Grade 3 mathematics problems, highlighting a severe learning deficit in numeracy despite slight improvements in literacy.
- **Regional & Sector Disparities**: The assessment shows sharp inequalities, with arid and semi-arid regions having the highest number of out-of-school children and refugee school learners performing significantly worse than their peers in public and private schools.
- **National Exam Weakness**: Data from the 2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment indicates mathematics is the weakest subject, with only 32.44% of over 1.13 million learners meeting expectations, prompting Education CS Julius Ogamba to express concern over STEM readiness.
