Student Achievement in England : Results in Reading, Mathematical and Scientific Literacy Among 15-year Olds from the OECD

See all formats and editions

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a collaborative study among the member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which aims to assess the knowledge and skills of 15 year olds in reading, maths and science.

This report presents the findings of the survey carried out in March 2000 to assess student achievement among a sample of 15 year olds in schools in England, when the focus was on reading literacy.

It considered a range of socio-economic characteristics of the student, their family and school attended.

The survey found that the proficiency of students in England compares well with that of students in other OECD countries; girls scored significantly higher than boys in reading, a finding that was repeated in all participating countries, whereas in both maths and science gender differences were less marked.
