I've not seen any statistics for that so I can't comment and don't feel it is particularly relevant since any such statistcs could include overseas students at Scottish Universities. Your apparent lack of concern for the children being failed is rather sad.

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in member and non-member nations of 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic performance on mathematics, science, and reading. OECD is a European organisation. So I ask you, what possible motivation would they have to expand free schools?
