[Grace O'Malley]

Chinese data are only from the most developed regions in China.
US and UK rose and Japan fell.
East Asian countries dominated in maths.

Best in Europe Estonia, Finland & Ireland.



Once again, China (the provinces of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang) and Singapore came out on top, ranking first and second, respectively, in all three subjects. Estonia, Canada, Finland, and Ireland rounded out the top five (see chart below).

Finnish results are going down because the leftist made some commie change that students don't get graded until 5th or 7th year of school, so there is no real incentive to study for tests since everybody gets same "number" no matter what they answer. And obviously also increased immigration.

Personally I don't understand why Romania participates, since the curricula is not tailored at all to PISA tests, and there is no desire to do so in the future.
