Heard this story on Radio National this morning. The OECD reports of 15 year olds every 3 years on literacy, mathematics and science results and found that Australian students were scoring less on literacy tests because there were fewer who were able to perform at advanced levels. Girls were not performing as well in Mathematics after gains in this area in the past few years. See these articles for more on this:
Australia slides down the global reading scale (The Australian)
Australian students in world ranking (ABC)
Have also included a press release from the ACER in the online section of the blog.
