Prof. Frederick Bein, chairman of the geography department of Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, expressed astonishment that 2 percent of 3,382 students tested in Indiana did not know that English is the United Kingdom`s official language.
The people of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are equally dismayed that Prof. Bein noted that ”England and the U.K. are the same place.” That`s like saying that Texas and the U.S. are the same place.
With this type of inaccurate information, it`s no wonder that U.S. students are less informed than their counterparts in other countries.
