These statistics have a specific section with all the information available: Statistical Indicators of the Education System (IESE).

Methodological note

The indicator measures the share of 15-year-old students failing to reach level 2 ('basic skills level') on the PISA scale for the three core school subjects of reading, mathematics and science. The data stem from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.
