It was in the news and seems fairly serious.

The article is from last year, based on information from the year before. Since then they've reformed the new exam system

And it was all over the news this week with Sturgeon saying we must do better.

Surely she wasnt saying we must do better in PISA tests hahah? Do you have a link to that? That would turn me right off her, surely she meant education in general.

I'm looking for it and hoping I didn't post the wrong link and was thinking of this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...itics-39885792

With regard the PISA I read something on my tablet that I'm struggling to find on my pc. I think the PISA story was republished in relation to the other articles relating to Scotland's own published results in an article I read on my tablet and that I've maybe pasted the wrong link, thinking it was that one.

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.
I'm all for a better education system, I've said that before in the thread. But education shouldnt be measured by PISA, I'm so relieved nobody said it should be!

I'll stand by what I said though You don't know that the PISA results are without value.
