Results from the 2003 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), administered by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). • Alberta students continue to achieve excellent results on international tests, sharing the highest scores in reading, improving from third to second in mathematics and ranking fourth in science. • "These test results confirm that Alberta students are among the best in the world," said Minister of Education, Gene Zwozdesky.
