Okay good, it has nothing to do with PISA! Your OP implied it was all about PISA, those tests are honestly a waste of time, especially for 15 years olds.

A PISA score is simply just that, a PISA score. Education at the age of 15/16 is different across the world. It is a particularly challenging year for the UK. It is not a challenging year for the...

Besides, wasnt the last pisa test in 2015, and the next in 2018. Why is this even being discussed?

You're honestly asking me to back up the fact that kids, teachers, and parents care more for GCSEs than a PISA test? You're just being stubborn.
