The Scottish Government says new results released by the Programme for International Student Assessment show Scotland holds a 'competitive position' in education.

@ACampbe36885200 Why do we have pupils in Secondary School who can’t read or count? The SNP have destroyed Scottish Education. Worst PISA scores in 20 years. Funnily enough exactly the same time Scotland has been ruled by the SNPeeeeeee!

English kids are up to 19 months ahead of Scottish kids thanks to the SNP ideological driven Curriculum for Excellence. How can it be competitive when kids literally a few miles away are so far advanced?

Who are Scotland competing with Chad? The results are shocking and Mairi McAllan knows it.

The Scottish government is being economical with the full truth and this soft interview is proof.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Our kids’ education has fallen off a cliff since these twats have taken charge but hey, flags!

Scotland’s ambition is now “about average”. Where England is world class, what a turnaround the snp have inflicted upon us.

The fact she can't see that its catastrophic proves how bad the education system is that she came up in, and it's only continued to get worse.

Time to tell the truth. It's a disgrace. Stop spinning and start fixing things. If you seriously believe this we are in deep trouble.

🤡 in other news 14 Glasgow secondary schools have employed primary teachers to help S1 pupils learn to read. Their reading age in S1? Between 5 and 6 years old!! We are lead by donkeys

When i was her age "competitive salary" meant peanuts 🥜🥜🥜

Fortunately those of us old enough to have a decent education can see through this blatant misrepresentation of statistics....lies, damn lies and SNP spin.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages! I was a teacher for 34 years, from the time Scottish education was still a beacon until the death of it by the time I took early retirement as I was disgusted at the treatment of education budgets by (mainly) the SNP Government.

Unfortunately her intention is to bring all Scots down to her intellectual level.

Heir wee goe. Wir wurld leading ……

@ACampbe36885200 Manipulating pass thresholds down to 40% doesn’t make the students clever. Reducing an A grade threshold to 70% from 80% to get more A grade passes is falsifying qualifications

McAllan is an absolute dundernut, a useless politician promoted above her ability by Sturgeon. She needs sacked along with her pal Gilruth

Who would have thought @thesnp TV @STVNews would be allowing this incompetent clown free rein to spout fact free nonsense about Education standards in Scotland? @MairiMcAllan is the latest over promoted separatist to betray Scotland’s children… 😡

That’s an interesting way to put it, I’d say anyone with a pair of eyes would say the Scottish Government are doing a fuckinf woeful job

Yup.

@ACampbe36885200 Breaks your heart to listen to this fkn robot !

There is spin at its finest… competitive position….. coventry city are in a competitive position in tbe English premiership however they will finish bottom 5 rather than top 10. We are sending our kids to Coventry !!!

Does anyone actually believe a single word this person utters? Deluded. Education in Scotland is heading for the gutter and she knows it.

This is a blatant lie and the Scottish government ( SNP) are solely accountable for education standards plummeting ! No amount of sugar coating is going to change the fact !

Jeez…

We are now seeing the standard of politician coming through the failing SNP education system! That also goes for the teachers beginning to teach the next generation of pupils!

Typical SNP. Celebrating failure while the gravy train keeps running and their wages keep rising. Abolish Holyrood.

The yestapo has destroyed Scottish education. It’s a national disgrace what they’ve done.

Managing the decline for two decades.

"A competitive position"? Like Brechin City .

@theSNP have ruined this once great country with their bull 💩

They took one of the best education systems in the world..........................

Shes way out of her depth. Mind you, a product of their education system. Lower pass rates, lower grades, lower intellect but you dont need brains to succeed in the snp. Keep blaming westminster, your career rise will be meteoric
