Budapest, December 11 (MTI) - Hungarian students have achieved outstanding results in an international assessment of the mathematics and science knowledge of fourth- and eighth-grade students around the world, a senior official of the education ministry said on Thursday.
The 2007 assessment by Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) involving 425,000 students from 59 countries shows Hungarians in the top third, said Marta Csillag.
Eighth-grade students fared especially well, being in the top league of their group and fourth-grade students achieved good results in natural sciences, Csillag said.
TIMSS assessed the results of 5,221 fourth-grade students and 5,315 eighth-grade students from Hungary.
TIMSS was developed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) to allow participating nations to compare students' educational achievement across borders.
