  • [01] Cypriot 15 year olds exhibit poor skills in reading, maths and science across the EU

    A report of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), presented in Brussels today jointly with the European Commission, has ranked Cypriot 15 year old students in the last positions of a list on reading skills, maths and science.

    The EU as a whole is seriously lagging behind in maths, but the picture is more encouraging in science and reading where Europe is on track to achieve its 2020 target for reducing the percentage of low achievers to below 15%.

    Regarding Cyprus, in 2012, 32.8% of 15 year olds had poor skills in reading, the third worst in the EU after Bulgaria and Romania. A total of 42% of 15 year olds also exhibit problems so far as maths is concerned, ranking second to worst in the EU after Bulgaria while in sciences, the percentage was 38.6, which was the worst in the EU.
