Türkiye moves up as international averages decline
Türkiye scored higher in all three subjects than it did in PISA 2022, while average scores across OECD members and participating countries declined.
Its science score rose by 18 points from 2022 to 494, putting Türkiye above the OECD average of 482. Türkiye ranked 19th among all 91 participating countries and 14th among 38 OECD members in science.
Reading also improved, rising by 16 points from 2022 to 472. The OECD average stood at 461, while the overall average across participating countries was 420. Türkiye ranked 18th globally and 13th among OECD members.
In mathematics, Türkiye gained nine points to reach 462, compared with an OECD average of 463 and an overall international average of 429. Its global ranking moved up from 39th in 2022 to 28th in 2025, while its position among OECD countries improved from 32nd to 23rd.
According to the country report, Türkiye recorded the largest increase among OECD members across all three subjects compared with the 2022 assessment.
Science records strongest long-term gain
Science showed Türkiye's largest improvement since it first joined PISA.
Türkiye's science score climbed from 434 in 2003 to 494 in 2025, a gain of 60 points. Over the same period, its reading score increased from 441 to 472, while mathematics rose from 423 to 462.
Because the number of countries taking part grew from 41 in 2003 to 91 in 2025, the report also compared Türkiye's position in relative terms.
Türkiye moved from 35th place in science in 2003 to 19th in 2025, while its reading position improved from 33rd to 18th. In mathematics, it moved from 34th to 28th.
The report said Türkiye was the only OECD member to increase its scores in science, reading and mathematics over the past 10 years.
