PISA score
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a study developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development that is repeated every three years, with the purpose of assessing 15-year-old school pupils’ performances in mathematics, science and reading. In 2022, Romania recorded a low PISA score in all three categories and was at least 50 points lower compared to the OECD average.
