Not falling but plummeting.

"Britain has nosedived down the world education league despite billions of pounds of extra spending on schools, an international study revealed yesterday.
The findings are the third in a week to highlight falling education standards in a country with a schools budget that has risen to more than £50billion a year.
Our schools now stand at 24th in a table of teenagers' achievement in maths, level with Poland and down from eighth in six years. "

[All this of course, in the week they are claiming record SATS results.]
