Abstract | Canada's 15 year-olds rank among the best in the world in reading, math, and science according to the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Conducted in the spring of 2000, the PISA survey identified how well youth can apply their reading, science, and mathematical abilities to perform real world tasks as they move on to post secondary education and the labour market. Canada placed second in reading, sixth in math, and fifth in science among the 27 participating OECD countries. This article discusses several reasons accounted for the variation in reading scores among Canadian provinces. (Contains 1 note and 2 figures.) (ERIC). |
