When we look at the report, we are in the position of a country that has steadily improved its situation over the twenty-year period. We are making rapid progress, especially in mathematics and science. In the field of mathematics, only two countries, Makoa (China) and Turkey, are rapidly growing. A similar situation also applies to the science field. When we look at the field of science, Makoa (China), Peru, Singapore and Turkey are the countries with rapid growth. As for reading skills, the downward trend continues in all countries, especially in OECD countries, since 2012. There is a stable trend in our country.
