James Dorgan2024-07-15T16:58:43+01:00Ireland is seen to be doing very well in the results of the OECD study of school performance throughout the member states taken in 2022. Students at age 15/16 were tested in Maths, Reading, and Science. Ireland was tenth in Maths, second in Reading and tenth in Science out of the 81 countries surveyed. That is, we were better than e.g. Germany at Maths, England at Reading and the US at science. Oriental countries, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong were towards the top in all three areas. Canada, Estonia and Ireland were the only non-oriental countries in the top ten in all three subjects.
