Adult literacy. Pisa 2012 results: which country does best at reading, maths and science? The latest Programme for International Assessment (Pisa) results are out today.
The release by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows that the UK has seen slight improvements in maths and reading performance but has slipped down four places in the overall ranking for science. The UK is ranked 23rd for reading, 26th for maths and 20th for science. In 2009 it was placed 25th, 28th and 16th respectively. Shanghai tops the overall ranking with Singapore and Hong Kong being placed second and third place respectively. Since 2000, the OECD has attempted to evaluate the knowledge and skills of 15-year olds across the world through its Pisa test.
The triennial results provide a wealth of data - from which countries are making the biggest improvements in education ranking to how the gender gap varies by subject. Who's top of the class? Qatar, Kazakhstan and Malaysia recorded an average improvement in maths performance of more than eight points per year. OECD: Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) by. If you are not familiar with the Paris-based (OECD) Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
I hope I can help you get to grips with the basics. Here is my summary in order to understand the (PISA) Programme for International Student Assessment. The following sentence is taking from the Pisa in Focus report from 2013. “So if you ask why you should care about PISA results, consider your child’s future, your own performance in school or at work, and your country’s ability to compete in a globalised economy. That’s why you should care.” Opinion: Regardless of you opinion on league tables, the OECD provides us with a useful benchmark to compare standards of education in England and Wales, with other countries across the world.
