Quality Education
Alberta ranks with the world's best in terms of the quality of education.
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a tool
developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) to provide policy-oriented indicators of the skills
and knowledge of 15-year olds' capabilities as they near the end of
compulsory education. Since 2000, PISA reports on reading literacy,
mathematical literacy and scientific literacy every three years.
The 2015 examinations placed Alberta among the top ranks of 79
jurisdictions, including 10 Canadian provinces, where the tests were
conducted. Alberta students have the second highest average score in
science, the third highest score in reading, and the fourteenth highest
score in mathematics.
According to the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult
Competencies, Alberta adults ranked first among the provinces for both
numeracy and literacy skills and also for problem solving skills.
