1 Refers to the mean of the data values for all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, to which each country contributes equally, regardless of the absolute size of the student population of each country.
2 At least 50 percent but less than 75 percent of the 15-year-old population is covered by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) sample.
3 Did not meet 85 percent threshold for school participation. However, data are considered to be largely comparable with data from other countries or education systems.
4 Did not meet 80 percent threshold for student participation. However, data are considered to be largely comparable with data from other countries or education systems.
5 Although Spain's data met international technical standards, its reading literacy data show unusual student response behaviors that prevent these data from being reported at this time.
6 Less than 50 percent of the 15-year-old population is covered by the PISA sample.
7 Although Vietnam participated in PISA 2018, technical problems with its data prevent results from being included in this table.
NOTE: Scores are reported on a scale from 0 to 1,000.
