Scotland's own figures show a drop in standards so you can't really discount the PISA results. But my apologies if my link was confusing or lack of multiple links was confusing. I can't paste links on the tablet so came to look for what I'd read the other day on the PC where I can paste links.

PISA tests should be discounted by everybody always, unless they test every school and every age.

The sources that you have added are interesting and makes our discussion kinda pointless, to summarise, PISA tests are stupid and have zero reflection on education in the UK.

I'll look through your other articles later, I honestly think we can agree with the points raised within them there - i do think the UK education system is a bit ****e in places, but you cant make this point with pisa scores.

I'm sorry Withano but you are still making bald statements about these PISA tests with absolutely nothing to back up your statements or claims apart from opinion. You can't state that as fact, you don't know it is fact. I don't know it as fact but I wouldn't take just your word on it without some sort of evidence that backs you up. Unless you have some sort of qualification that names you an expert on the subject of course?
