The US is fast losing ground to countries like India and China in the field of science and mathematics, US President Barack Obama has said.
Obama expressed his worry about the lack emphasis to encourage students in maths, science and engineering at a town hall meeting at Atkinson, wrapping up his three-day bus tour to rural America yesterday.
"One of the things I'm worried about and we're trying to put a lot of emphasis on in the Department of Education is, can we do more to encourage math, science, engineering, technology learning... if you are a skilled engineer, if you are a skilled computer scientist, if you've got strong math and technical skills, you are going to be very employable in today's economy," Obama said.
