Fifteen year-old students whose parents have only attained a primary level of education perform worse on PISA assessments in reading (OECD average of 417), as compared to their classmates whose parents have a secondary (463) or tertiary (489) education (Figure 6.11). This pattern of results also holds for maths and science performance.

Figure 6.10. Older adults perform worse on numeracy than their younger peers in all OECD countries

PIAAC numeracy assessments, around 2012

Note: The OECD average excludes Colombia, Iceland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland, due to a lack of data. England and Northern Ireland are both included in the OECD average, as is a simple average of both United States time series (2012/14 and 2018).
