PISA 2022: Vietnamese students experience a decline in performance rankings
The recently unveiled Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 results from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development reveal a decline in rankings for Vietnamese students when compared to the most recent assessment in 2018 and the two preceding evaluations.
The OECD findings show that Vietnamese students achieved scores of 469 points in mathematics, 462 points in reading comprehension, and 472 points in science, marking a decrease of three to 14 points in comparison to the OECD average.
The unique circumstances of PISA 2022, delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, brought occasional challenges in data collection. Nevertheless, Việt Nam met all technical standards for the assessment. However, the review revealed limited comparability in reading results with other countries, cautioning against drawing direct trend comparisons.
