According to the latest PISA 2022 results released on Tuesday, Romanian students scored 26 points in creative thinking, placing higher than only students from Moldova, Cyprus, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Albania. This is below the OECD average score of 33 points.
In the category of “creative thinking,” students from Romania achieved a score equivalent to that of students from Colombia and Jamaica.
According to the same results on Tuesday, Romania also leads in the disparity between students in disadvantaged schools and those in advantaged backgrounds within the country, each scoring 19 points. Bulgaria shares the same position with Romania, followed by Hungary, Slovakia, and Jamaica.
Additionally, the PISA 2022 findings reveal that 58% of students reached at least basic competence in creative thinking (Level 3). However, only 14% of Romanian students performed at high levels (Level 5 or 6) in this area.
These proficiency levels indicate students’ ability to generate, evaluate, and enhance creative ideas across various complex tasks, including abstract problem-solving and addressing unfamiliar or constrained scientific and social challenges.
Romania scored low overall in the PISA 2022 tests, when they were released in December 2023.
