    It says Vietnam got 468, and USA got 489

    edit: Oh, that’s 2022, I can’t find 2023

    Edit2: There is no PISA 2023, PISA tests every 3 years, and delayed 2021 to 2022 because of COVID.

    The USA’s math score was 4 points behind Vietnam’s, but their science was 27 ahead.

      oh you’re right, I went by this, but should’ve checked the ranking there :)

      Another interesting trend is that lower-income countries, such as Vietnam, tend to perform better than wealthier nations, such as the United States, in these metrics.

        Check out this analysis of the data: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/pisa-scores-by-country

        I don’t know anything about the site and spent 30 seconds looking at the article, but it doesn’t present the data in a misleading way to create “always the same map” (international-community-1 international-community-2 ) by setting the major shift in perceived color just below the OECD group and then not coloring in countries like China and Vietnam that outperform the imperial core

          There’s definitely a bias there, and I’d argue that this makes it even more significant that they have to admit China is outperforming the west. Skipping Russia in particular is a bit funny given that Russia tends to perform really well at math and computer olympiads. When a country with a population of only 143 million consistently outperforms a billion people in the west, that’s a sign that the education system is working well.
