A+ for BC students

B.C. students are world leaders in reading, science and math.

The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results released Tuesday show B.C. Grade 10 students have earned top marks.

They earned the top-spot for reading, second in science and sixth in math – all an improvement over the last time testing was done in 2012. 

“Our students are the best readers in the world and their outcomes put them at the head of the class globally. These results come thanks to hard work by the students, the skills and efforts of our teachers, and from the strength of our education system,” said Education Minister Mike Bernier.

“It’s doubly rewarding to see the strong results are also an improvement from the already strong results three years ago.”

The PISA assesses students from 72 countries and all 10 provinces.
