Dubai have fallen behind most of their counterparts

Dubai: Fifteen-year-olds in Dubai have fallen behind most of their counterparts in an international reading, science and maths test.
Out of 65 countries tested by PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) Dubai ranked 42nd in reading and 41st in maths and science.
However, students from Dubai topped the list in the Middle East and Africa, beating Qatar, Jordan and Tunisia. They also outshone peers in Russia, Thailand and Mexico.
More than 5,600 students - around a third of all Dubai pupils aged 15 - from 130 public and private schools following a dozen national curricula, sat for the exams here in 2009. The results were released on Tuesday on the website of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), organisers of PISA and by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) on Wednesday.
This is the first time pupils in Dubai have taken these tests, that are held every three-years to measure the performance of schools.
