Dear John,

Every three years, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is conducted.

It is the most extensive and widely accepted measure of academic proficiency among lower secondary school students around the world.

In the most recent tests, Canada did comparatively well internationally. But results in all three disciplines — reading, math and science — have declined right across the country.

A new study published by the Fraser Institute today finds that over the twelve most recent testing years:

Canada dropped 7 points in reading while all other G7 countries made gains. Canada dropped 17 points in science while the USA gained 14 over the same period. Canada dropped 15 points in math while four G7 countries, including the UK and USA, made an average gain of 10 points.

Scores in every province are heading in the wrong direction. Check out provincial breakdowns here [[link removed]] and be sure to spread this concerning news.

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President

The Fraser Institute
