Given high social mobility in China, it appears that the education system does work consistently. Also, not sure what these overpopulated hellholes are.
Singapore really is a special case in that regard. China dropping on the list is likely a healthy sign actually because it means less pressure on the kids.
and in case anybody is wondering how other countries are doing
what confuses me about china here is that they only test 4 provinces.
i’d be interested in the result for the whole country
The system in China is fairly standardized, so I’d expect the results would be similar.
I wouldn’t, what works in an overpopulated hellhole won’t work so well when you have less than a hundred students in the school

Huh, I wonder what Singapore is doing different.
They just have an extremely competitive school system. The score does come with a cost.
Maybe, but does no one else have a competitive school system? That seems incomplete.

Why is almost every country on that list worse than they used to be?
