Ec-European Commission - School education: equipping a new generation. Shanghai tops global school tests, UK 'stagnates' 3 December 2013Last updated at 09:21 ET By Sean Coughlan BBC News education correspondent The UK is falling behind global rivals in international tests taken by 15-year-olds, failing to make the top 20 in maths, reading and science. England's Education Secretary Michael Gove said since the 1990s, test performances had been "at best stagnant, at worst declining". Shanghai in China is the top education system in the OECD's Pisa tests.

And next week, the state of today's education standards across the developed world will be revealed with the publication of the results of the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment, better known as the "Pisa tests". This mammoth, three-yearly exercise, will produce international education rankings for more than 60 countries and dozens of regional administrations, based on tests in reading, maths and science taken by more than 500,000 15-year-olds.
And in the future it could get even bigger, with Mr Schleicher saying he wants to develop OECD rankings for universities. Global league table Pisa topping. Key findings.
