A new assessment of reading literacy allows reliable and extensive monitoring analyses. PISA 2009 also examined mathematical and scientific literacy, but with a smaller set of indicators.
PISA 2009 was conducted in Finland by the Institute for Educational Research (University of Jyväskylä). In 2009, 65 countries/economies participated in the PISA assessment, 33 of which were OECD members.
The new results were published on 7 December 2010.
| Finland's results: | Score points | OECD countries | All participants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading literacy | 536 | 2nd | 3rd |
| Mathematical literacy | 541 | 2nd | 6th |
| Scientific literacy | 554 | 1st | 2nd |
