Key Findings

Countries with Highest PISA Scores

• Singapore (1,679), China (1,605), Japan (1,599), and Taiwan (1,599) have the highest PISA scores globally.

• 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.

Countries with Lowest PISA Scores

• Philippines (1,058), Uzbekistan (1,055), Dominican Republic (1,050), and Cambodia (1,012) have the lowest PISA scores globally.

• Lower-performing countries tend to score below global averages across all three subjects, with outcomes often linked to higher levels of poverty and inequality that affect learning outcomes.

What Does PISA Stand For?

• 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.
