The OECD’s PISA 2018 tested around 600,000 15-year-old students in 79 countries and economies on reading, science, and mathematics. The main focus was on reading, with most students doing the test on computers.

Based on the latest OECD PISA survey, the national average score for Georgian students in reading is 380 which is placed between Kazakhstan (387) and Panama (377).

As for mathematics, Georgia has 398 points compared to China’s four regions at 591 and the bottom-ranked Philippines at 353. In science, the national score was 383, in contrast to the OECD average of 489.

The OECD’s PISA tests show a decrease for Georgian students since the previous PISA report in 2015, where the country score was 411, 401 and 404 in the three categories respectively.
