The Teaching Gap

The Teaching Gap refers to the significant difference in educational quality and teaching methods between various countries, particularly in math and science. Research shows that even when students have similar abilities, those in some countries perform better due to effective teaching practices. Factors contributing to this gap include curriculum design, teacher training, and classroom culture. Countries that emphasize deep understanding, collaboration, and real-world applications in their teaching tend to produce stronger student outcomes, highlighting the need for educational reform to enhance teaching quality and effectiveness globally.
