French school children aged 9 to 10 have been ranked the worst in Europe for their reading skills, marking a steady decline in levels since 2001, a new study has revealed. Its not good news for French schools.
The study by PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study), which has been carried out every five years since 2001, ranks the reading skills of school children aged 9 to 10 in 50 countries.
Thousands of French school pupils took part in the study in the spring of 2016, answering a series of comprehension questions on literary and informative texts.
And the results werent good news, with the country coming last in Europe and 34th overall on a list that saw Russia claim the top spot, followed by Singapore, Hong Kong, Ireland and Finland.
France received a total of 511 points in the survey, which was led by the IEA, a Dutch consulting firm specializing in comparative studies of international school systems.
This score puts French children 25 points below the average for children participating in other European Union countries (544 points).
By comparison, Russia received 581 points; and England, which was ranked tenth, received 559 points.

I think they need to define “French.”
Many an 80 iq immigrant will bring down the average. Just like here

I thought the worst reading was in Greece.
For their students, it would be all greek to them

Who needs math & reading skills when you are marching towards the 13th Century?
“I think they need to define French.”
Bingo! The kind that come with names like Muhammad and Abdul.
“I think they need to define French.”
Exactly, what percentage of school children in France are now Arabs and Africans?
so the Fwench are worst than us in the ejucashon’ sector? I thought the Euroweenies keep bragging they were better than us?
Well no wonder. They have to read that funny language where you pronounce only half the letters.
Not coincidentally, France also has the largest population of African and Middle Eastern people of any European country. These are the ones dragging down average scores in France, just like allegedly low school performance in the US is mostly due to black and Hispanic schools.
I thought I would be clever by pointing out all of the Muslims they imported. Looks like I was not the only one thinking about that.
Frere Youseff, Dormez vouz?
But they are number 1 in Jihad.
Didn’t Michael Moore produce one of his crap documentary films about what country the United States should invade next and featured France and it’s schooling? Seems like a fail on his part, lol.
A picture from the article shows two white children.
Well that stinks
