Debate question on education

Does anyone remember the education question? It was something about how the US compares to other countries.
I was wondering what the figures were that was given in the question. I was out of the room at the time.

Our education system is the most expensive in the world, John McCain just said. He wants reform of the entire thing.

I found the answer to my question.

"Schieffer: Let's stop there, because I want to get in a question on education and I'm afraid this is going to have to be our last question, gentlemen.

The question is this: the U.S. spends more per capita than any other country on education. Yet, by every international measurement, in math and science competence, from kindergarten through the 12th grade, we trail most of the countries of the world.

The implications of this are clearly obvious. Some even say it poses a threat to our national security.

Do you feel that way and what do you intend to do about it?"

Looks like most of the transcript is available
