In recent years, OECD countries have seen massive changes in the achievement levels of 15-year-olds in mathematics, reading and science. Many countries have made significant progress towards universal secondary education: Costa Rica, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, Morocco, Paraguay and Romania are some of them, but it's important to note that most of these countries were marginalized and have recently undergone radical economic changes.

In my opinion, things like gender, country and socio-economic factors can be clearly visible in the results. Boys outperformed girls in mathematics by 9 points but girls surpassed boys in reading by 24 points on average.  As far as the gender of the students is concerned, it can be seen that there are some differences in their study preferences. However, this shouldn't be generalized due to the risk of confirming stereotypes.

When it comes to other socioeconomic factors, it's important to mention that things like pandemics, bullying (according to the PISA 2022 results, 20% of students are bullied at least a few times a month), internet addiction (30% of students are said to be distracted by digital devices) or even suffering from food insecurity have a huge impact on students' well-being and therefore on their educational outcomes.

OECD member countries are estimated to be low performers in maths, reading and science. Regarding gender, country and socio-economic profile have a crucial role. More specific boys and girls performed at similar levels on average in mathematics but girls outperformed boys in reading by 25 score points in Greece. The share of immigrant students has increased in Greece to 13% in 2022, 17% arrived after age 12, and after completing the elementary grades in another education system. Several of these students tend to have a more disadvantaged socio-economic profile.

According to the results 15-year olds are less proficient in reading, science and maths than a decade ago.

This could show signs of lower motivation, distractions because of digital applications or reforms in schools did not bring out the effect that was expected.

If they have found that PISA takers in OCED countries ( 16 million children ) did not excell in maths, reading and science, the schools might have to adapt and try to work harder at looking into this decrease.

Results that show that Ireland is in the same rank as Japan, Korea and Chinese Taipei and Estonia does not have to correlate with how much money is spent in funding.

In the video we can see the empasis on studnent teacher and student parent relationships and how important they are for success and well-being.

The 2022 results show that there is a spesific decrease of success in maths and reading. This maybe the reflection of gender, socio-economic situations but I think that is related to pandemia mostly, students lost their daily rutins of studying, socializing with their peers. They lost their motivations to lessons. In the results,we can see "Socio-economically disadvantaged students in OECD countries are seven times more likely on average than advantaged students not to achieve basic mathematics proficiency. However, across the OECD, 10% of disadvantaged students scored in the top quarter of mathematics performance in their own country." So if the disadvataged students can get top results, general decrease may be related to unhappy lockdowns.

Well-being is necessary for learning, but it's not enough.

2022 Pisa data shows us that the accessibility of education and good management of the process made a significant difference during the pandemic period. in addition, investments in teachers, not schools, will have a great contribution to achieving success. The decline in reading skills decreased during the pandemic period when it was expected to increase. In PISA 2022, the predominant area is mathematical literacy, an area that has not seen progress worldwide for 20 years.

The proficiency levels of 15-year-olds in math, reading, and science have fluctuated over the years in OECD member countries. While there have been improvements in some countries, others have seen declines or relatively stable performance. Gender, country, and socioeconomic factors indeed play significant roles in these differences.

Regarding gender, there have been observed variations in performance, with girls often outperforming boys in reading, while boys may have a slight advantage in mathematics and science. However, the extent of these differences varies across countries and may not always be consistent.

Country-specific differences in proficiency levels are evident, with some countries consistently ranking higher than others across all three subject areas. Socioeconomic factors also play a crucial role, with students from more advantaged backgrounds generally performing better than those from disadvantaged backgrounds

Looks like we have a lot to learn in what high academic performance is concerned. I would like to cross data with well-being ratings.

Most Interesting Things from PISA - Ioannis

While the Leaning Tower of Pisa may be the city's most famous landmark, the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) reveals some truly fascinating educational insights. The most intriguing findings might be the recent decline in math scores, despite technological advancements. This drop suggests something beyond just access to tools. Additionally, the PISA uncovers how developed countries, often seen as educational leaders, were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic's effect on math learning. These trends raise important questions about educational methods and highlight areas where even the most privileged nations need to adapt.

# data[].attributes.body
25% of 15-year-olds in OECD member countries – equivalent to 16 million children – are estimated to be low performers in maths, reading and science, including students not covered by PISA.

# data[].attributes.body
There has been a general decline in the proficiency levels of 15-year-olds in mathematics, reading and science in OECD member countries in recent years.

I think gender, country, or socioeconomic factors are reflected on the differences generally but there is specific results, too.

Dramatic score declines dominated the headlines reporting on the release of the latest PISA scores, with many sources highlighting the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning. Some reports focused particularly on math scores, which, in a number of cases, experienced the most drastic drops from the 2018 results. In some instances, reports noted that some education systems (like the US) were able to rise up in the rankings because their scores did not decline as much as others. A few headlines also emphasized issues such as low levels school belonging for migrant students, increased student anxiety and reduced psychosocial well-being, and the effects of income inequality on score results. Numerous critiques have identified serious issues with the PISA findings and their use (see for example Two decades of havoc: A synthesis of criticism against PISA or PISA: Mission Failure and PISA Mission Failure), but for context on the reporting on PISA, this year's scan of the headlines reporting on the release of the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results can be compared to IEN's previous PISA coverage, including: Global Around the World in PISA 2018 Headlines"Eighteen countries and economies performed above the OECD average in mathematics, reading and science in 2022. Between 2018 and 2022, mean performance in mathematics across OECD countries fell by a record 15 points. Reading fell 10 points, twice the previous record, whereas science performance did not change significantly. On average, reading and science trajectories had been falling for a decade, though math had remained stable between 2003-2018. Colombia, Macao (China), Peru and Qatar improved in all three subjects on average since they began to take part in PISA." , and "The average international mathematics score fell by 15 points since the 2018 tests, the equivalent of three-quarters of a year of learning, reading fell by the equivalent of half a year, with only science scores remaining more or less the same."
