Czech students come 15th in PISA survey

The Czech Republic came 15th in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment, a survey organised by the OECD every three years. This year’s survey focused on students’ knowledge of sciences and their ability to use this knowledge in solving problems of everyday life. The programme was carried out among 400,000 students in 57 countries. The average knowledge of OECD students was equalled to 500 points, with Czechs gaining 513 points and the top-of-the-list Finns gaining 563 points. The closest to the Czech Republic were the British and the Swiss.
