Ireland's 15-year-olds rank first for reading - study
Ireland's 15-year-olds have ranked first for reading, third for science and fourth for mathematics out of 27 EU countries, in a major international educational study.
Ireland's 15-year-olds have topped the charts in reading, scoring third in science and fourth in mathematics across 27 EU countries in a major international educational study. Conducted every four years, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) evaluates 15-year-old students' proficiency in reading, mathematics, and science.
Ireland's students also outperformed the EU and OECD averages in computational problem solving. However, the study also revealed that Irish students' performance in reading and mathematics has declined compared to previous cycles of the assessment.
