Ohio, Pa. get low education marks from U.S. Chamber

YOUNGSTOWN — Ohio and Pennsylvania both got low marks for the “rigor of their standards” in the first-ever U.S. Chamber of Commerce Report Card on Education.

The report says that states are failing their students and putting America’s future competitiveness at risk.

The report, done by the Center for American Progress and the American Enterprise Institute, claims American education isn’t “making the grade when it comes to preparing students for their future,” said Tom Donohue, chamber president and CEO.
