English children best in Europe
Published:  09 January, 2009

A report has found that English children are the best in Europe at science and maths but don't enjoy their lessons.

The report showed that England has risen up the league table. Coming top were far eastern countries such as South Korea, Japan and Singapore.

English pupils' enjoyment of maths and science, however, is poor, suggesting that attainment is being achieved at the expense of imparting enthusiasm for the subjects which is reflected in few so few taking up jobs in these sectors.
