Abstract	This report by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) presents information collected from a representative sample of public school students (1,728 from 55-60 schools in grades 4, 8, 12 from 27 states) in the United States during the fall of 1974. The information was used for an ETS survey directed toward international education aspects of social studies. The project was initiated in 1972 by the United States Institute of International Studies to provide a better understanding of student interests, knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding other nations and peoples. In addition, school and community questionnaires and teacher questionnaires were administered to provide supplementary data to help interpret the student responses. The results are displayed in 60 tables and reflect examples of the extent of student illiteracy in world affairs. On the positive side, results also show the student interest that schools have to build on early in the educational process, and provide confirmation for the belief that if schools care to, they can make significant differences in students knowledge and perceptions.
