No progress has been made towards achieving the benchmark to slash the percentage of low-achieving 15-year-olds in reading literacy. In fact, the share of low achievers grew from 19.4% in 2000 to 19.8% in 2003, suggesting most EU members have a long way to go to ensure that by the end of the decade, fewer than 15.5% of their 15-year-olds will belong to that group.
Nije napravljen napredak u ostvarivanju cilja da se smanji procenat petnaestogodišnjaka koji slabo stoje kada je reč o čitanju: procenat slabih đaka u toj oblasti porastao je sa 19,4 odsto 2000. godine na 19,8 odsto 2003, što pokazuje da većini članica EU predstoji još puno posla da bi obezbedile da, do kraja decenije, manje od 15,5 odsto njihovih petnaestogodišnjaka pripada toj grupi.
