The World's Highest-Scoring Students focuses on how various
countries transformed their school systems into the world's leading
systems of education. Hani Morgan covers eight countries: Finland,
Singapore, Japan, South Korea, China, Canada, Estonia, and the
United States. His book offers ideas on how the United States can
improve its school system so that it can regain its status as the
world's undisputed leader in education. In addition to offering a
brief historical context for each country, Morgan describes
important practices that helped these nations achieve stellar
results in international testing. Some of the subjects covered
include teacher preparation programs, cultural attitudes toward
education, and teacher recruitment practices. His book differs from
other texts on this topic because he describes in detail the most
recent practices that various educational systems have used to
maintain top academic performance and the strategies others have
implemented to climb to the top. The World's Highest-Scoring
Students offers a new perspective on this topic in several ways.
This book provides a balanced view of the highest-ranking nations
in education, offering the outstanding practices they use to
achieve stellar results but also pointing out the problems they
endure. In addition, Morgan discusses various controversies about
international tests, including the limitations of using these tests
to evaluate students.
