Has the new PISA scores for 15 year olds



This has data from Indian public schools in TN and Himachal Pradesh



The scores are at African levels



Even assuming, that these are the bottom 50% of TN and Himachal soceity in terms of class, income and caste,

they work out to an IQ of 77



Amazingly bad



I did go thru the PISA test, it is very basic, and shockingly low Indian performance



Mauritius and Trinidad Indians show IQ around 88, and thats without malnutrition , And Mauritius and Trinidad Indians are

from the same strata as the TN and Himachal Indians in PISA test



I think, except for the dwija segment, that is well above 100, the rest are at 85, even with nutrition



From 77IQ + 10IQ for nutrition takes you to 87 IQ



Yes the US-Indian segment is performing remarkably high, but almost all the award winners are dwija, and about 60% of the US-Indian segment never wins any of these awards
