    The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial survey of 15-year-old students that assesses the extent to which they have acquired the key knowledge and skills essential for full participation in society. The assessment focuses on proficiency in reading, mathematics, science and an innovative domain (in 2018, the innovative domain was global competence), and on students’ well-being. Saudi Arabia What 15-year-old students in Saudi Arabia know and can do Figure 1. Snapshot of performance in reading, mathematics and science Note: Only countries and economies with available data are shown. Source: OECD, PISA 2018 Database, Tables I.1 and I.10.1. • Students in Saudi Arabia scored lower than the OECD average in reading, mathematics and science. • Compared to the OECD average, a smaller proportion of students in Saudi Arabia performed at the highest levels of proficiency (Level 5 or 6) in at least one subject; at the same time a smaller proportion of students achieved a minimum level of proficiency (Level 2 or higher) in all three subjects. 2 | Saudi Arabia - Country Note - PISA 2018 Results What students know and can do in reading • In Saudi Arabia, 48% of students attained at least Level 2 proficiency in reading. These students can identify the main idea in a text of moderate length, find information based on explicit, though sometimes complex criteria, and can reflect on the purpose and form of texts when explicitly directed to do so. • Almost no student was a top performer in reading, meaning that they attained Level 5 or 6 in the PISA reading test.

International Student Mobility: Growth and Dispersion Neeraj Kaushal and Mauro Lanati NBER Working Paper No. 25921 June 2019 JEL No. J1,J15,J24 ABSTRACT Recent years have seen an unprecedented growth and geographic dispersion in international student mobility. In this paper, we empirically test the predictions of two competing theoretical models underpinning the determinants of student mobility – the human capital model and the migration model – across traditional and emerging destinations. Our findings suggest that while the predictions of the migration model are generally valid in explaining student emigration to non-English speaking OECD destinations, student flows to English speaking countries and emerging economies are largely in line with the predictions of the human capital model.
