France 24 panel discusses country's declining PISA education rankings
A France 24 panel discussed France's declining performance in the latest PISA rankings, which measure the academic skills of 15-year-olds across OECD countries.
France 24's "Parlons-en" program discussed the latest PISA rankings, released Tuesday, which showed a decline in French middle-school students' performance in math, science and reading comprehension compared with previous years.
