OK we're really been feeling glum lately so I thought in all fairness we should mention the better PISA ratings for Germany this time round. The latest Spiegel has it as cover story.
So since the initial "Pisa Shock" (Spiegel: "Inbegriff der Deutschen Bildungsmisere") from last time where everyone was tearing their clothes and wondering why Germany was on a par with developing countries, it seems things have actually improved.
Anyway it seems SCIENCE at secondary level has moved way up to Place 13/57, ahead of GB place 14). From 45 countries tested Germany is now on place 11 for reading (cf England, place 19).
