Deep dives
Australia's performance in PISA 2022
Australia's performance in the PISA 2022 International Results has shown both improvement and areas of concern. While there hasn't been a further decline in performance, a significant proportion of 15-year-old Australian students still perform at worryingly low levels in reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy.

These results highlight the need to address the learning needs of students and to improve engagement in mathematics.
