Ukrainian schoolchildren also scored 469 points for performance in science. Belarus and Turkey has nearly the same results – 471 points and 468 points, respectively.
The PISA study is conducted by the OECD every three years. In particular, researchers ask children about their living conditions to determine the factors that influence their success.
