I have checked up this website and found it to be very informative. The website addresses the following four areas:
- How countries do in Mathematics (e.g. China is ranked #1; USA is ranked #30; UK is ranked #27)
- How countries do in Reading (e.g. China is ranked #1; USA is ranked #14; UK is ranked #19)
- How countries do in Science (e.g. China is ranked #1; USA is ranked #20; UK is ranked #14)
- What makes a school successful? (Many elements contribute to a successful school, where success is often defined by student performance levels as well as their enjoyment of the learning environment.)
Personally, I found the fourth topic on "What makes a school successful?" to be the most valuable topic.
Once again, thank you, Carol, for alerting me to this interesting article.
