Average Mathematics Achievement by Country in TIMSS 2023 (Grade 4) [OC] Posted by Ihoujin_ Tags:DataData Is BeautifulDataIsBeautiful 7 comments So The South Africa has difficulty with geography and math. One year of difference is a lot at those ages. Interesting nonetheless. Asians not beating their allegations. But it’s actually because the math class and education in general is a lot tougher in Asian countries. Notice how close the United States is to Finland. Remember they were the world’s darlings last time out? So let’s not get too upset about this data. It isn’t all that meaningful when there is so much variance from one year’s test to another’s. Turkey and France are big surprises.

All we care about is being better than New Zealand. Comments are closed.
