Question 3: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the analysis he or his officials have done in response to the 2010 PISA results, which revealed a dramatic fall in educational standards here, and the steepest decline in literacy standards in the OECD; if so, what that analysis revealed regarding the cause of that decline in standards and the options for addressing same; the actions he is taking to address this decline; and the targets he has set against which his success in reversing the decline in standards can be measured.
