China's PISA Performance: Talent or Education System?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

China consistently ranks first in the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests, which evaluate the educational performance of 15-year-olds in subjects such as mathematics, problem-solving, and financial literacy. The PISA 2012 assessment specifically focused on mathematics, highlighting the effectiveness of China's education system. This performance raises questions about whether China's success is due to its large population producing more talented students or the superiority of its educational framework.

Is China allways first at PISA test because they have the most people in the world so statistically they must produce the most number of talent children?
Or they have the best education system?

The OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) evaluates education systems worldwide by testing 15-year-olds in key subjects. The focus of PISA 2012 was mathematics. Some countries chose to assess other subjects too such as problem-solving and financial literacy.
