Most PISA years have completely different student coverage %s, if you're gunna use PISA for anything you should atleast take an average of all the years. The Netherlands and Switzerland specifically had their worst PISA result scores ever, every other time they were on top or near the top sans East Asians/Finns.
OP is wrong anyway, Poland does not have a higher GDP per capita than Portugal, when will you people stop using the literally useless PPP? Nominal is the only way to measure the actual success of a country's economy on an international level, if you want to know why Portugal has less PPP per capita it's because they pay more for the same things. Poland has a nominal GDP of around 15k, Portugal has around 23k, around and on par with countries like Estonia, Czechia, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia. Poland will probably eventually surpass them but it'll be awhile yet.
