SINGAPORE – Singapore’s 15-year-olds have ranked second-highest in the world for competencies in reading, mathematics, and science according to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) run by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Out of 79 participating education systems from different countries, Singapore came in just behind China, who were represented by four provinces-Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Held once every three years, 6,300 students from 153 public secondary schools, and 376 students randomly selected from private schools participated in the benchmarking study.
Key findings from the Ministry of Education (MOE) in their press release revealed students have shown significant literary improvement since the last PISA in 2015.
The MOE attribute this improvement to the increased percentage of students from English-speaking homes.
