Ireland falls from 5 to 17 place in the world literacy standings

Ireland has ben renowned for having a good education system and intelligent pupils. However the latest PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) literacy ranking shows that Ireland’s position has declined from 5th to 17th place. This was the greatest falll suffered any country. I understand that the fall occured between 2006 and 2009.

Can anyone enlighten me why there has been such a dramatic fall in standards?
