Scores bolster case for Shanghai math in British schools

In the latest Program for International Student Assessment, commonly known as Pisa, run by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development , 15-year-old students from Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, outperformed their peers from the other 78 participating education systems in mathematics and science by a wide margin. In reading comprehension scores, only Singapore came close.

The PISA rankings triggered global interest in Chinese methods, and as a result Britain increased exchanges with Chinese teachers and schools to find out how to improve quality. David Johnson, a reader of comparative and international education at the University of Oxford, said:"Any example of success, good performance elsewhere, is something any country should look seriously at.

"The ongoing success in Pisa 2018 is likely to encourage policy makers in England to continue and enhance the links with China," said Boylan, who led the evaluation of the Mathematics Teacher Exchange.
