METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita compares the same PISA 2025 science measure across ASEAN participants with published OECD results. This is explicitly a participant comparison, not a rank across all ASEAN members because several ASEAN countries did not participate or do not have a published score here.
- Malaysia scored 419 points, ranking 5/7 among the ASEAN participants in this comparison.
- Singapore scored 560, Viet Nam 457, Brunei Darussalam 439 and Thailand 432.
- Indonesia scored 389 and the Philippines 373.
- The OECD average was 482; Malaysia's score was below that benchmark.
