Viewing the United Kingdom School System through the Prism of Pisa

چکیده
3. In the 2009 PISA assessment of 15-year-olds, the United Kingdom performs around the average in reading (rank 20 ) and mathematics (rank 22) and above the average in science (rank 11) among the 34 OECD countries (see Figures I.2.15, I.3.10 and I.3.20). The average reading score of students in the United Kingdom stands at 494 – not statistically significantly different from the OECD average and comparable with France, Germany, Sweden and the United States but well below the highest-performing counties examined by PISA. Average scores for mathematics and science are 492 and 514 respectively.
