The Serbian government stated today that on the PISA test conducted in 2022, our country has made progress compared to 2018 and is in 40th place in reading and science, and 42nd in mathematics.
Q:
A:
Serbian students make progress on PISA test
Belgrade,
5 December 2023
6,413 fifteen-year-old students from 183 schools participated from Serbia and solved tests on reading, mathematics, scientific literacy and creative thinking.
The results showed that the average achievement of students from Serbia on the mathematical literacy scale is 440 points (OECD: 472), on the reading literacy scale 440 (OECD: 476), and on the scientific literacy scale 447 points (OECD: 485).
The results in science and reading show a slight improvement compared to those obtained in the 2018 PISA survey (by eight and one points, while in mathematics there is a drop of eight points).
When interpreting the achievement results, it should be taken into account that compared to 2018, performance in OECD countries dropped by 10 points in reading and by almost 15 points in mathematics.
The results achieved in our country under the conditions of Covid-19 give rise to hope that the reforms that were started immediately after the end of the PISA 2018 cycle will continue in the direction of raising the quality of education.
Girls have better results in reading by almost 26 points, which represents almost one year of schooling. Boys have slightly better achievements in mathematics, and the difference amounts to 11 points. In half of the countries, boys on average had statistically significantly higher achievement than girls.
The results of PISA 2018, published in 2019, made it possible to reconsider the assumptions embedded in the existing education system.
