Overall, the OECD noted that despite improvements and increased spending on education, some countries’ results were not too good:
Mexico and Greece saw significant improvements in mathematics performance between 2003 and 2006. However, across the OECD area as a whole learning outcomes have generally remained flat, while expenditure on education in OECD countries rose by an average of 39% between 1995 and 2004.
The PISA report also ranked students from Spain, Italy, and the U.S. as performing under average.
