OECD PISA tests the skills and knowledge of 15 year-olds, providing the global benchmark for the quality, equity and efficiency of school systems.
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an internationally standardised assessment that was jointly developed by participating countries and administered to 15-year-olds in schools.The survey was implemented in 43 countries in the 1st assessment in 2000, in 41 countries in the 2nd assessment in 2003, in 57 countries in the 3rd assessment in 2006, 62 countries in the 4th assessment in 2009 and 65 countries in the 5th assessment in 2012 and 72 countries in 2015. Tests are typically administered to between 4 500 and 10 000 students in each country. PISA assesses how far students near the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society. In all cycles, the domains of reading, mathematical and scientific literacy are covered not merely in terms of mastery of the school curriculum, but in terms of important knowledge and skills needed in adult life.

Why does Singapore always do so well? Do they have a good education system?
Camden Powell
what about the previous ones? what countries have had improvements?
Brody Morris
they probably order bad students to commit suicide. my ancestors burned them to the ground, but then the br*ts had to come and rebuild it like the fags they are
Brody Bailey
they get forced to study all the time because of the culture, I once knew a 19 year old from there and he had a bunch of grey hairs lol
not worth it imo

>always Even though Singapore has remained consistently near the top (or AT the top as in PISA 2015) of most major world education ranking systems, this wasn't always the case, during the last few decades Singapore became one of the world's most prosperous countries, it underwent rapid development and economic growth and this can be reflected in those international assessments like PISA, TIMSS or PIRLS, etc., but when we take for example data from PIAAC, that not only gives us information about 15-year-old students like PISA but for 16-65 year-old people living in households, it presents a kind of mixed picture for countries like Singapore and Korea (again, countries that have experienced economic and social improvements) which tell us that their elders did not enjoy the advantages of their current successful education systems.
Angel Bell
by the way, PISA and PIAAC are two different assessments with different assessment frameworks and not really comparable but both of them, at the core, emphasize the notion of skills and attempts to situate test questions in real-life contexts so that the assessment is not explicitly linked curricula (unlike other international large scale assessments like TIMSS, PIRLS, LLECE, SAQMEC, PASEC, etc.)

Singapore literally practiced a soft version of eugenics where they paid highly educated women to have more children. It seems to have worked.
Lincoln Williams
Literally eugenics. See .

>commit suicide I don't see how teen suicide rates have anything to do with PISA performance. And anyways suicide rates are extremely low and not really different for people below the age 15 in all countries of the world.
Easton Taylor
It still really isn't working because people still want less kids and just giving mopey to simply have more kids does nothing really because you still have to deal with childcare, any costs in education and feeding them..
holy shit singapore might be efficient but it really takes on some sci-fi-tier dystopia
Jackson Barnes
This is actually a very interesting question because the first PISA assessment was carried out in 2000 (results for mathematics literacy are comparable since 2003 and for science literacy since 2006) and we see that performance has remained flat for most of the participating countries
Brandon Smith
Can't wait to see how much we will fall when the next results come in. Our youth is in shambles
Kevin Kelly
Finland is kill :DDD

>flat which doesn't make any sense by the way, I mean the world in 2000 was very different from the world in 2015 and actually you would expect that learning outcomes as measured by PISA would get higher but there are even countries where performance has even declined.

I didn't expect nothing more, we are dumb as fuck.

At least you are doing better than your neighbour Haiti.
Carson Morgan
I woudn't be surprised if the difference between Dominican Republic and Haiti are about the same as the Dominican Republic and Canada

All standardised tests can be gamed. East Asian countries are notorious for exhaustion-drilling their school children to pass tests. Essentially, they make their kids memorise the entire possible answer spaces. The reality on the ground is different once you leave the upper middle class students out.

but PISA is not a standardized test, and besides, training students to obtain better results in PISA would be very "inefficient" and would not lead to better outcomes given that: less than one percent of the student body is examined, even though the samples are representatives for the target population you cannot prepare for an assessment like PISA given the skills-based nature of the test, as stated here PISA items focus more to tests on the ability of students to apply what they know to unfamiliar situations rather than to test what they know >Rather than examine mastery of specific school curricula, PISA looks at students’ ability to apply knowledge and skills in key subject areas and to analyse, reason and communicate effectively as they examine, interpret and solve problems. you can learn more about PISA by reading the Assessment and Analytical Framework here oecd.org/publications/pisa-2015-assessment-and-analytical-framework-9789264281820-en.htm or by taking some released questions here oecd.org/pisa/test/other-languages/ memorization is not a guarantee in the resolution of problems, which is mainly the objective of PISA, memorization has limits and students are less likely to succeed in more complex problems if they just apply hard rote-learning and actually the opposite occurs with the application of creativity.
And anyways the prevalence of standardized testing is not even correlated to PISA scores
Considering Singapore is small in size and population, they should be discounted. They are far too different from other countries to be useful in comparison. If we isolate the city of Tokyo (not the metro area) and test that independently, I'm sure it will outperform Singapore - even though it's not that useful of a metric.
Anthony Howard
>Considering Singapore is small in size and population, they should be discounted. Fuck off 5 million is a lot and size is irrelevant
>They are far too different from other countries to be useful in comparison Not really.
Are you that desperate to not Singapore credit?
Jordan Reyes
Fuck off Chang.
Wyatt Kelly
but size nor population have nothing to do with performance either, and whether we like it or not Singapore is a country, with a different nationality, their citizens have different passports, they have different immigration policies, can carry out international trade and especially they have a Ministry of Education that performs different educational independent policies.
Kayden Rogers
Lee Kuan Yew hates Malays and actively shows it in his policy because mentally he never really left the 60's. Singapore is pretty much a Chinese state with a diverse at all levels.
Ethan Phillips
Countries that participated in PISA 2015 that had less people than Singapore in 2015: Finland Slovak Republic Norway Costa Rica Ireland New Zealand Croatia Georgia Moldova Uruguay Lithuania Albania Qatar Slovenia Latvia Kosovo Trinidad and Tobago Estonia Montenegro Macao SAR, China Luxembourg Malta Iceland
Additionally, Cyprus participated in PISA 2012 and she also had less people than Singapore, and so did Liechtenstein which participated from 2000 untill 2012 and Mauritius and Panama which participated only in 2009.

>most of countries where immigrants perform better than natives are anglocountries Why anglos are so dumb?
Connor Rivera
This country has really gone down the shitter. They keep lowering teachers' wages and pushing for 'fun' education. Then they wonder why our results are dropping hard.
Nathaniel Perez
I blame the dumb lil shits They need some beating
Tyler Torres
Actually immigrants perform better than natives are countries that use merit based immigration. Countries whose immigrants that are mainly refugees, the natives perform better.
the ones who go to highschool here are fucking loaded. millionaires who can send their kids to the kings schools and afford the best tutilage the ones that arent righ are "refugee" even if economic and they come under a seperate system, they get entry to uni regardless of highschool marks through different schemes at each uni so they dont have to bother with highschool marks other than that there are no immigrants in the highschool system, all others come in as internationals at uni.
Christian Harris
It's weird to see Finland up there with the Eastern-er Asians, aren't our school systems completely opposite? You always hear how strict Asians are with their studies and how many hours they spend studying.
Back when I was in school, when the score was even higher than today, we were instructed to do the bare minimum and even then we were all pretty relaxed and careless with school. There was very little homework on the rare occasion there were any and I never suffered for always forgetting it. Not only that, education is "free" so every poor idiot and mongrel is in and the class always advances at the speed of the slowest student.
