Today, the PISA 2012 results were released.
Finland fell out of the top ten countries, thereby confirming the slide that
was found in TIMSS earlier. Several publications referred to my writing in
discussing the problems with just looking at PISA results when judging
countries’ performance (including Business
Insider and the Guardian).
In terms of Finland, I’ve been arguing that
other measures have displayed a significant fall in educational achievement for more than a year.
But everyone just cares about PISA. Now, when the fall also shows up in PISA,
people start to listen. It’s nice to be right.
