Description

Reviewing the “Highlights from PISA 2006: Performance of U.S. 15-Year-Old Students in Science and
Mathematics Literacy in an International Context”
All 30 OECD member countries participated, as well as 27 partner
countries and economies
 In the US a total of 166 schools and 5,611 students participated in the assessment
 The countries participating in PISA together make up close to 90% of the
world economy.
 Nationally-representative samples were drawn, representing 20 million 15-year-olds
 The programme is financed by education ministries of participating countries
"While average performance of 15-year-olds in the US is below the OECD
average, there is less variation in performance levels among schools."
