Dr. Kenan E. Sahin Challenges the 'Education Crisis' Narrative in New Book, American Educational Excellence

The new book, American Educational Excellence, argues that the U.S. education system is a powerful and misunderstood engine for innovation and democracy.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Educator, entrepreneur, and technologist Dr. Kenan E. Sahin delivers a powerful counter-narrative to the prevailing discourse of failure in U.S. education in his new book, American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism. Released by Forbes Books, the work argues that the American educational system is an unparalleled engine of innovation that produces the world’s most resilient entrepreneurs and adaptable citizens.

Drawing on a lifetime of academic, corporate, and civic leadership—from his education at MIT to founding international technology companies—Dr. Sahin argues that critics of American education are measuring the wrong metrics. He urges policymakers, parents, and citizens to look beyond international test scores and instead focus on outcomes that truly matter: the system's ability to foster creativity, leadership, and a spirit of initiative that powers the nation's economy and strengthens its democracy. The book demonstrates how American values are the hidden engines behind our educational success.

“The excellence of American education is profoundly misunderstood, even by many Americans,” Dr. Sahin stated. “The real strength of our system lies not in standardized test scores but in how it develops individuals who can innovate, lead, and thrive in our unique democracy and market-based economy. If we focus on the wrong metrics, we risk undermining the very foundation of our nation's success.”

American Educational Excellence provides an essential, optimistic, and fact-driven perspective for anyone concerned with American competitiveness in a world being reshaped by AI and other transformative technologies.
