About this indicator
This indicator measures the average PISA Mathematics score for 15-year-olds. The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses how well students near the end of compulsory schooling can use their knowledge and skills in contexts relevant to further learning, work and participation in society. In PISA, mathematics is defined as students’ capacity to reason mathematically and to formulate, employ and interpret mathematics to solve problems in a variety of real-world contexts. It includes concepts, procedures, facts and tools to describe, explain and predict phenomena. It helps individuals make well-founded judgements and decisions, and become constructive, engaged and reflective 21st-century citizens. Scores are expressed in points on a common international scale.
