Managed by ACER, it provides an opportunity to compare 15 year olds' literacy,numeracy and scientific skills across the globe.Half a million students took part from 65 countries and although Australia is still performing above OECD averages, our students' reading and numeracy skills have declined and scientific literacy has stayed stable.Australia performed equal 17th in Mathematics,equal 8th in Science and equal 10th in reading. This report is published every 3 years and provides a benchmark for educators worldwide.For more information access the website and  slideshow below:
