<p>The UK has slipped further down world education rankings as teenagers fall behind their peers in reading, maths and science.</p>
<p>Countries including Poland and Norway have overtaken the UK in the last three years as education here has &#8220;stagnated&#8221;.</p>
<p>Britain has fallen from 17th in 2006 to 25th for reading skills among 15-year-olds, according to a major study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).</p>
<p>In maths, the UK has dropped from 24th to 28th place, it shows.</p>
<p>Around half a million 15-year-olds from more than 70 countries took part in the OECD&#8217;s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study 2009, with the results for 65 published.</p>
<p>The study assessed how students could use their knowledge and skills in real life, rather than just repeating facts and figures.</p>
<p>The findings showed that the UK&#8217;s score for reading was 494, about the same as the OECD average, 493. The top performer for reading was Shanghai-China with a score of 556.</p>
<p>For maths skills, the UK&#8217;s score was 492, again similar to the OECD average of 496. Shanghai-China was again top-ranked with a score of 600.</p>
<p>In science the UK received a score of 514, placing it 16th. The OECD average was 501, and Shanghai-China was again top with 575.</p>
<p>The UK&#8217;s results remained similar to those in the 2006 PISA study, when the UK was ranked 17th for reading skills, 24th for maths and 14th for science.</p>
