New Pisa results were published on the 6th of December with DK ranking higher than the average among OECD-countries. Overall, Danish students perform better today than three years ago. http://www.compareyourcountry.org/pisa/country/DNK

Then we must be on the right track?

 

When do I perform well? When I pass my exam with high grades that give access to the future. The future of education and life… What is the relation between performance and life?
