PISA Scores by Country

Country PISA Aggregated Score 2022↓ PISA Math 2022 PISA Science 2022 PISA Reading 2022 Top-performing countries tend to achieve consistently strong results across math, science, and reading, with higher performance often associated with more equitable access to education. PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment (or Program for International Student Assessment in the US). The PISA test is conducted by the OECD and assesses students in three core subjects: mathematics, science, and reading comprehension. PISA scores reveal a clear performance gap, with differences across countries closely tied to levels of poverty and inequality rather than subject-specific strengths or weaknesses. Systems with more equitable access to resources tend to perform more consistently across all three subjects.
