we done good

The fact that UK schools were outside the Top 20 for schools but their college graduation rate took them to 6th overall suggests that a lot is being placed on how good a country's diploma mills are.

That's impossible. Everybody knows Ireland is a chronic toxic third world backwater that's the worst at everything, everything and we should all be deeply deeply ashamed of ourselves and we may as well just torch the place and also we smell and have ugly elbows.

Maybe but we can all count to potato, so we have that going for us, which is nice

SCOOP 64 · 08-05-2014 05:15PM

Having been through the irish education system, I am honestly shocked that it ranked so high. Education elsewhere must be atrocious.

Edit: USA ranked above Switzerland.....something not right with this report.

Now that's unfair, because we're certainly top of the table when it comes to spin, revisionism and bullshítology

Mr. CooL ICE · 08-05-2014 05:57PM

We finished just behind a country full of perverts and stoners. Should be proud of that

You can only imagine how high up we'd be if only we didn't waste so much time on utter rubbish like religion and Irish, useful only for repelling the multinationals with.

Irish is not utter rubbish, the way it's taught is utter rubbish.

Sick of people having no respect for our culture.

Having been through the Irish education system and studied abroad, I am not shocked at all. We're streets ahead of plenty of European countries.

We must be doing something right with the universities, they seem to attract a serious amount of international students

besides this dubious list, where??? which European countries.

This is looking a little like the crime stats.

vamos! · 08-05-2014 07:30PM

Quite a few of my students go on exchange in France or Germany. Every single one comes back shocked at how little work was done in the schools. The Spanish teacher has said the same is true for Spain. I'm sure there are plenty of positive features of education abroad and there are serious flaws in our secondary system but there are also excellent aspects, which the media and R Quinn discredit at every possible opportunity. Will Ireland be anywhere near top of the list after the new Junior Cert is released and the population is dumbed down? I doubt it.

I'm not surprised. Most people don't like positive news, they'd rather have a moan.
