1,Read the last paragraphs of pp. 18, 34, and 48 on this document.

Overall, Canadian 15-year-old students achieved a mean score of 518, which is 24 points above the OECD average. As illustrated in Figure 1.1,14 Canada was outperformed by only Korea, Japan, and Switzerland among OECD countries. Among all 65 participating countries, nine performed better than Canada. Table 1.1 lists those countries performing significantly better than or as well as Canada on the overall mathematics scale, and on each mathematical process and content subscale (with all remaining countries that took part in PISA 2012 being statistically below the Canadian average). 

• Canadian 15-year-old students achieved score of 518 on the mathematics.

For Canada overall, those in the highest decile (90th percentile) scored 235 points higher in reading and 232 points higher in science than those in the lowest decile (10th percentile). This compares to 242 points in reading and 239 points in science across all OECD countries. 

• Canadian's reading and science decile scored great.

The quality of human capital in the future will not exceed the quality of the education we provide to our children today. PISA’s teenagers will eventually become adults responsible for the success of our economy, so it is important to address the challenges highlighted in this report immediately. Indeed, the recent results released from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) indicate that many Canadians between the ages of 16 and 65 face significant challenges in terms of literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in a technology-rich environment.23 It is essential that our education systems prepare Canadian youth for full participation in modern society for generations to come. 

• The quality of education is very important.

In Canada, before high school ,the students are so easy to study. they do not have to much homework to do. they are so happy! I am from China Beijing. In my hometown, the kids study very hard in school.  They have much homework. They rarely have time to go out to play. I think to play for free growth of children is very important. I hope my hometown. I hope my country better in this regard.
