Seems kind of arbitrary. If spending was down, or innovation was mostly in private hands, that would count against a country.

"where once the U.S. was the uncontested leader in science and engineering, we are now playing a less dominant role.”
The country scores badly in higher education, even though U.S. universities are world-famous. That underperformance was likely made worse by obstacles to foreign students, who are usually prominent in science and technology classes -- first due to the Trump administration’s visa policies, and later to the pandemic." -snip

The US was trying to push coal back to its former glory starting four years ago. What a boob move.
I dunno, my roomate was Indian. I saw a lot of foreign students at Keene New Hampshire.
Not exactly a top tier college, but lets be honest, any university will take those who can afford to pay. The top 1% economically/intellectually of any country will always have a place at Yale, Harvard, or anywhere else they opt to go, which adds up to a lot in a country with billions of people.
