A new report commissioned by the Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development ranked 76 countries according to how well students perform based on test scores in math and science.
The report titled 'Universal Basic Skills: What Countries Stand to Gain' showed Asian countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea dominating the first 3 ranks. The UK is in 20th and the US is in 29th.
