South Africa's education ranking

Education pundits have for years been speaking about South Africa's low quality of Maths and Science education. Yet again this issue was under the spotlight following a report by the World Economic Forum that South Africa is scoring poorly in Maths and science, and in fact it seems that we are very low down on the list.

Is the report a faor assessment of the reality on the state of maths and science in the country?
