PISA 2009 Publications

Publication Details

In this administration of PISA, nearly half a million 15-year-olds from 65 countries or economies took part. Reading was the main focus of PISA 2009 and is reported in detail in this report - this is the first time that a learning area has been the main focus of the PISA assessment. To provide an ongoing high-level picture of mathematics and science, results on an overall scale for these two learning areas are also reported.
