Read the article.

I've read it... Now you support your claim it's meaningless
You can't.  ...because it isnt

I don't need to.  Any reasonable member or guest can judge for themself.

[Mr Gray]

Including and measuring are not the same things. Here is a cite about measuring literacy.

https://ourworldindata.org/how-is-literacy-measured

Of course it can be measured in different  ways... Pisa chose one and applied that to all the countries in the study... To describe the study as meaningless which you appear to support is risible... Carry on

[Mr Gray]

If you claim it's meaningless as a fact you need to supply an explanation... Otherwise your input is meaningless

Oddly enough nope.

It's a red flag that your cite does not support your claim.

Perhaps members and guests have the stamina to wade through your alleged cite.

Or perhaps not.

you continue to state your opinion as fact

If you state my cite does not support my claim as a fact...you need to supply some supporting argument..you cannot...which leads me to think your claim is fraudulent

Don't worry.  Your opinion matters to me just as much as you claim it does.  Not a jot.

and do you think yours matters to me...as ive stated...I dont value anyones opinion unless its based on evidence...that includes everyone....

What's goading about a song title ?

[Mr Gray]

what is the point in providing a cite when  poster such a sil can simply say its meaningless...when it obviously isnt....nd provide nothing to support that claim...could a mod explain...it makes a mockery of the rules

[Mr Gray]

sil is just annoyed because he claimed the UK education system had taken students down to the LCD and I provided a cite which showed students in the UK are at the same level as portugal in maths and reading and ahead in science...so are the portuguese dumbed down too

You're a mod, so you should know

So what are you saying the mods know the rules but the members don't!  Are you talking about the moderator methods?

[Brietta]

You're a mod, so you should know. All to do with not deleting things willy nilly

              Where did you get that from ?

There was a message about that.  More emphasis on editing. 

Other Mods - do you have to report a post before editing it, or just cut corners and edit it?

I report everything.  Because if the modified post is not reported the editors will be unable to see the original wording used if arbitration is requested.
There has been discussion very recently http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=8404.0 where it would be beneficial to discuss moderation.

Jassi hasn't answered my question.
