Abstract

According to the latest results from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), Finnish students are top of the class when it comes to scientific, mathematical and reading comprehension. While the PISA results show that Australia also has a world class education system, we certainly have room for improvement, particularly where underprivileged, remote and indigenous students are concerned.
