Bulgarian eighth-graders saw the largest declines in average math and science scores, followed by their peers in Sweden and Norway, according to the 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), cited by the Washington Times.
Asian students outperform their Western counterparts when it comes to science and math, the survey says, pointing differences in culture as one of the main reasons.
