PISA 2018 Results (Volume I)

What Students Know and Can Do

image of PISA 2018 Results (Volume I)

The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines what students know in reading, mathematics and science, and what they can do with what they know. It provides the most comprehensive and rigorous international assessment of student learning outcomes to date. Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policy makers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. This is one of six volumes that present the results of the PISA 2018 survey, the seventh round of the triennial assessment. Volume I, What Students Know and Can Do, provides a detailed examination of student performance in reading, mathematics and science, and describes how performance has changed since previous PISA assessments.

Snapshot of trends in reading, mathematics and science performance

In Albania, mean performance improved, from initially low levels, across all three subjects (reading, mathematics and science). In all three subjects, improvements at the bottom of the performance distribution outpaced improvements observed at the top, resulting in narrowing performance gaps between the highest- and lowest-achieving students. Improvements in mean performance were particularly rapid in mathematics (about 20 points, on average, per 3-year period). The proportion of students who scored below Level 2 in mathematics (low-achieving students) shrank by 18 percentage points between 2012 and 2018.
