¹Percentages for the middle response category ('2 or more but less than 4 hours a week'), which is not shown in the table, can be obtained by subtracting the sum of the other two categories ('less than two hours a week' and 'four hours a week or more') from 100%.

NOTE: Results based on students' self-reports. The OECD average is the average of the national averages of the OECD member countries. Because PISA is principally an OECD study, the results for non-OECD jurisdictions are displayed separately from those of the OECD countries and are not included in the OECD average. Apparent differences may not be statistically significant. Standard errors are noted by s.e.
