Kazakhstan data
Kazakhstan's results as published by the OECD: figures, tables and links to the source. The first PISA 2025 results were released on 8 September 2026.
This page presents figures without interpretation. We do not evaluate results or compare schools and regions. Official analysis is in the OECD reports.

How to read the data
- A mean score describes the system. It says nothing about an individual student or school.
- Significance of differences. Two numbers may differ while the difference is not statistically significant.
- Levels say more than scores. The share of students at each level gives a clearer picture than the mean.
- Cause and effect. PISA data show associations; they do not prove causes.
