In Today’s Global Economy, only a Handful of States Score Favorable ‘Letter Grades’ on International Benchmarks. The report, issued today by the American Institutes for Research (AIR), based on international performance benchmarks in math for 4th and 8th grade students concluded that only 4th graders in a handful of states – among them Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Kansas and Vermont – are learning at B or B- levels when compared with students internationally. “The highest achieving countries are so far ahead of us, we will never catch up if we run at the current pace,” said Phillips. “Our states and school districts should no longer be comparing themselves to their neighbors. They will be competing for jobs and innovations with students around the globe.”

The bank and its founder, Muhammad Yunus, jointly won the Nobel Peace Price in 2006 for their efforts in grassroots economic and social development. The widespread negative perception of the poor is a major obstacle to development of micro credit. "There is usually social bias against poor people in rural areas, who are presumed to have poor credit." The Party of the People want the "People" to stay in their place.
