PISA- share of low performers (maths)
percentage
Sources of data:
Eurostat
The share of low performers in specific competence areas is one of the main indicators for the EU2020 working program on education. Public education plays a key role in providing basic competences for young people, ensuring that they can acquire the skills and competences needed on the job market later. However, if close to one third of 15-year-olds lack the basic competences needed than they have very poor chances on job market in their later life.
