The ranking is based on the results of the OECD’s PISA 2025 study, published in September 2026. The assessment measures the skills of 15-year-olds in mathematics, science and reading across 91 participating education systems.
The participating Chinese regions lead the way with an average PISA 2025 score of 578.7, followed by Singapore (552.7) and Taiwan (531.3).
In general, East Asian education systems dominate the rankings, particularly in mathematics and science. Apart from them, the top ten includes only Estonia in 7th place, the United Kingdom in 9th and New Zealand in 10th.
The US ranks 16th in the overall rankings, performing better in science and reading than in mathematics.
Romania is in 52nd place with 419 points. Ukrainian regions (the study was conducted in 17 out of 27) are in 43rd place with 432.3 points.
