NOTE: Proficiency in numeracy is scaled between 0 and 500 score points. “Less than high school” corresponds to the 1997 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED:97) category "lower than upper secondary" (ISCED:97 levels 0, 1, and 2). “High school” includes high school diplomas and equivalencies and postsecondary education that did not result in a degree; this category corresponds to the ISCED:97 category "upper secondary" (levels 3 and 4). Estimates for Chile, Greece, Israel, New Zealand, Slovenia, and Turkey based on 2015 data, and estimates for all other countries based on 2012 data.
