SINGAPORE TEENS TOP GLOBAL EDUCATION

(CNN)When it comes to science, math and reading, Singapore’s teens are the best in the world, according to a international education survey published Tuesday.
In all three subjects, Singapore students demonstrated knowledge and skills equivalent to almost two additional years of schooling compared to students in the US, France and Sweden.

The US improved on its 2012 performance by moving up to 25 on the list.
The findings are part of the 2015 Program International Student Assessment (or PISA) — a benchmark of education systems conducted every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a grouping of the world’s richest economies.
