A few thoughts that occurred to me:

What is PISA? Why do they only target 15-16 year-olds? Are they a representative sample?

Can the entire test be lumped into 3 categories: Math, Science, and Reading? All of these subjects are interrelated.

Anyone can play with these numbers until a preferable conclusion is made. For example, the first graph that the article presents makes Greece look half as competent as Finland.




PISA is a set of standardized triennial tests organized by the OECD.
