Ohio’s students will be better able to compete with those in top-performing nations due to the state’s participation in a new national curriculum plan, according to education researchers.

Ohio is to be among the first states to adopt the grade-by-grade Common Core curriculum for math and English being developed by 48 states.

Ohio has not compared the Common Core plan with Ohio’s current curriculum.
