      ab: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's Programme for International Student Assessment, published on December 4, 2001, put British 15-year-old students between third and tenth out of 28 industrialized countries on tests of reading, mathematics, and science, an improvement on previous surveys. The improvement may be linked to higher standards in British education and to new methods of measuring performance. The old problem in British education of class difference still exists, and it is the middle classes that have pulled up Britain's results. Although Britain's education ministers and teachers can congratulate themselves on the results of the survey, there is still scope for improvement.
