Compared with the results of PISA-2018, the difference in mathematical and natural literacy in 2022 decreased by 4-5 points, and the level of reading literacy remained the same," Gani Beisembayev noted. Recall that according to the results of the PISA-2018 rating on mathematical literacy, the gap between urban and rural schools was 22 points, and in PISA-2022 it decreased to 18 points. There were also 31 points in science literacy in 2018, and 26 points in 2022.
