Greek High School Students Score Below OECD Average in Math, Science and Reading

greek-schoolsThe latest PISA test which demonstrates students’ abilities in science and math has revealed that Greek students score below the average of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The OECD organized the PISA exam, or Program for International Student Assessment, and tested 540,000 students across 72 countries. When the results came in, Greeks placed 43rd in science and math and 41st place in reading. Some 5,500 Greek students took part in the test from 212 public and private schools throughout the country.
According to comparative data from this year’s exam and previous PISA exams, Greek students have shown a decrease in their ranking among their foreign peers since 2006.
In fact, OECD Chief of Staff Gabriela Ramos commented that the report shows that Greek students would need to attend an additional 2.5 years in school just to catch up to their peers in Singapore which is at the top of the list in the number one position and scored top of the class in all three categories.
ANA-MPA reported that Greece’s high school students earned 455 points in science questions, down six points compared with the last test, 467 points in reading which is down eight points since the last test and 454 in math which is up one point since the last tests.
