Yeah, there has been some news about the bad math results in particular.

It's been a discussion in Norway for a long time. Particularly interesting to me is the fact that high-school students in Norway typically appear to be equal to or above their peers, while the top university students seem to be world class, so somehow they seem to catch up in later studies.

Or, maybe the population is different. Haven't looked into it, but maybe Norway is more prone to make everyone, including weaker students, take the test. Would be interesting to know more about participation.
