Tests for Europe's schoolchildren

Laurent Moyse considers that despite Luxemburg's high ranking in the PIRLS rankings (sixth out of 45), "there remains a non-negligible number of students who consider reading a chore and textual interpretation an uncomfortable activity. ... The education system must find a way to balance the transmission of knowledge with a response to the difficulties of working with a diverse student body. One thing is certain: the education system has been sick for some years. If it is in this state, it is partly due to our society, which is sick as well, and which has delegated some of its responsibilities. Result: in reading, Luxemburg ranks last in student motivation."
