‘Pisa score reflects language gaps’


IN the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) 2022, Malaysia scored 388 for the reading domain, a drop of 27 points from 415 in 2018, with less than 50% of our students reaching the minimum level (Level 2) for the domain.

Based on data provided by the Education Ministry, only 17% of the sampled students chose to answer the Pisa tests in English.
