3. The first half of the graph is showing the Pisa score (which is an abbreviation for Programme for
International Student Assessment). The OECD conducts an international comparison of
educational performance every three years The Pisa test/ assessment. The Pisa test/ assessment
includes Science, Mathematics and reading. This graph shows the Pisa score in 2009 for the
countries China, Australia, United States and Kyrgyzstan the countries scores are also ranked
respectively to the way I said it. Meaning first China, second Australia, third United States and
fourth Kyrgyzstan. The ranking of course is effected by a number of factors for example the GDP
of each country which is located on the right side of the graph GDP stand for Gross domestic
product this gives the value of all goods and services in the country over a specific time period
this is helpful as it is a way of telling how good the economy of the country is and in a way it
helps tell how much their schools are probably getting funded. It also determines their rank as
you can see Kyrgyzstan came last due to their lack of money to fund their schools and help their
students, and this is most likely reason why they are so far behind. But this is not always the
case even though yes countries with a high gdp are more likely to score higher as they have the
correct amount of funding to successfully help their schools and students. But as you can see
United states has double china's gdp but they are falling behind china and Australia, well the
reason for this is because of the lack of the united states students being eager to learn in school
and probably their discipline in classes affecting their education. China is first for their students
eagerness to learn, their decline and funding while countries such as Kyrgyzstan don’t have
correct funding to give their students the chance of learning no matter if they have the correct
discipline or not. Thanks for listening to our report on The relation between education and gdp
among different countries.
