“Three years ago, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Pisa Study found that German students scored below average in reading when compared to their peers in other OECD countries. According to the findings, almost half of 15-year-olds said they never read for their own pleasure.”
Looks like Germany is facing similar problems with the youth of their country not reading. They are taking it enough to heart to reform their school system though. No such approach here in the U.S.
