Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.
Education Bill
Not yet. I shall be delighted to give way in just a second. By 2010, we had moved from fourth to 16th, from seventh to 25th and from eighth to 28th in those subjects. In mathematics, 15-year-olds in Shanghai are more than two years ahead of 15-year-olds here. The OECD found that, in this country, the number of 15-year-olds who can generalise and creatively use information based on their own investigations and the modelling of complex problem situations is just 1.8%; in Shanghai, it is 25%—more than 10 times better.
