In 9 of the 76 countries (Ghana, Honduras, South Africa, Morocco) more than 2/3 of students fail to meet the level of basic skills.

Hong Kong (China), Estonia, Korea and Singapore lead at the other end of the distribution, but even these countries/economies face the challenge of ensuring that all youth attain basic skill levels.
