In the 2012 test, Serbian students were ranked 43rd in the competition of 65 countries, and in 2015, due to lack of funding, Serbia did not even participate in the survey. Last year, 79 countries or economies participated in the testing (Hong Kong, Macau, Chinese Taipei and Kosovo were ranked separately).
