- Asian countries outperformed the rest of the world in the OECD's 2012 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) exam, which tests the knowledge and skills of the world's 15-year-olds. Over half a million students took part.
"With high levels of youth unemployment, rising inequality and a pressing need to boost growth in many countries, it's more urgent than ever that young people learn the skills they need to succeed," says OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría.

ABOUT THE OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation established in 1960 that works collaboratively to build better policies for better lives. Our goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. Together with governments, policy makers, policy shapers, and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

China and South Korea (top) have twice as long school hours as the U.S
Finland (top) Has a system that gives students less stress at school. Less hours, homework, and tests.
The U.S. (Middle) has a system of basic education. Also, fewer classes that teach life skills such as Finland.
Yes. Chinese has to look into it and see how to improve. I have to tell Chinese parents, stop sending kids overseas until university or post graduate study not earlier. Even, when Chinese parents send kids to other countries, carefully choose which country you want your kids to go. It is madness to send kids to low PISA performance countries, not worth of the money.
They are better because they study more, they are not lazy, like the western countries
If we do not take PISA results (by the way, it measures the ability of applying knowledge to unfamiliar topic) seriously, this will be the Asian century or Chinese century. For those, who did not take the notice, it has been the Chinese as a race on top of PISA chart.
Singapore is "ethic Chinese" country ever since the Malaysia expelled all ethnic Chinese into the island, which is today called "Singapore". Hong Kong is a part of China, Taiwan is a part of China plus mainland China.
In a sense, as a race, Chinese perform well as to the abilities measured by PISA.
Singapore is multicultural, multilingual and the most religious diversified country in the world.
I noticed that the Top 3 are ethnic Chinese societies.
Shanghai
Singapore
Hong Kong
Those 3 are more cities than countries. If you were to just isolate Seoul & Tokyo for example, they would also show similar results.
S Long well,Shanghai's students are not the best in china,students in Jiangsu province attend to the test,too,and they got a better grade,but we didn't give the grade out.
S Long probably yes.
yi zheng True, within China, most Chinese would not consider Shanghai to be best. Beijing would consider itself the "cultural" city with its elite students and the famed top university (Beijing University) within China or other provinces would too lay claim that they produce better students.
@@ShenardL Shanghai alone has more people than many countries.
Shanghai--GO!!!! Poland--looking good!!!! US---let us wake up and invest in our kids!!!!
Well, beter then sweden anyway
At this rate Poland looks like it will soon be the top PISA score in Europe along with Estonia & Finland.
PolishPower Stefanowicz Yes!!!
Kudos, but ironically, you misspelled "Mathematics" at 1:40 in the video.
This PISA thing is headquartered in France, where people prefer not to speak English with any non-French speaker.
It is minor thing. It appears not to be cost-effective to make a big fuss out of it.
Do you understand "The gender gap in mathematics" chart? Are top students defined as belonging top 13% (assuming that number of boys equals number of girls)?
I was wondering that myself. I was thinking it could be percentile based, as you suggest, or possibly even on an absolute scale -- i.e., performing over 1 year ahead of some standard international expectation (scaled to a global average of the previous cycle's results, perhaps).
That's future economics.
Let's tell the whole truth. The students of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore do well because they get twice sometime three times as much math and science exposure per day than the average G-7 child. Yes, they do the traditional classroom hours of math, but they, at the expense of their parent pay ($8-10,000 per year) to attend at least 10 more hours of math per week in after-school math tutor and or test taking classes. Six days a week. Also Family, Population control,(one child one birth),Confucianism and Collectivism impact these societies significantly.
That's because your government picks up 99% of the cost. I'd be an exceptional student if my government pickup my whole tab for Harvard University . But all things aside we as American must drastically alter the way we approach educating student in science and math.
Science and math in America is very much elitist in it's instruction based on property tax of the neighborhood you live in. Wealthy neighborhoods not only get more money to educate each student but have access to advance placement courses, older more experienced teacher,& active parental participation directly impact success.
One of the things that impressed me about China is that very body gets exposed to advanced math and science. Rather than a small group. I had a room mate from mainland China once and she told me that she failed all her advanced math classes not because she lacked study skill, or discipline but because there were so many people in the class sometime 75-100+ in high school that the grade curb as so high and the majority of the students in the class failed. Yet the average student doesn't know how to think out side the box.
Stop making excuses and start educating yourself you stupid little brat
@@A1aixing You have to look at the teacher's perspective. Most teachers want good pay and benefits. So guess what? The wealthy school districts can afford high pay, and they attract a lot of candidates, making the school very selective.
When I go into the teaching/education workforce, I don't expect to work there in the affluent districts. No. Why? Because it's way too competitive. I mean, I could try to apply... but I think it is just going to be a waste of time. I am just going to whatever school is hiring and wants me to work there.
I think if USA wants to improve in education, the people must dedicate less time to soccer (and maybe some other sports) and more to school. Countries that give less importance to soccer have, in general, higher levels of education, than those countries more interested in soccer. Look the positions in rankings of Singapur, Finland. compared to Brasil, Argentina, Mexico. I think soccer is enemy of education, or at least, an obstacle. NOw China is starting to invest a lot of money in soccer, so I think they will drop some positions soon.
weh?
Indian education system is most worst
