Canadian high school students ranked among the top 10 countries on an international math and reading test despite scores declining sharply in both subjects over the past 20 years, according to a new global report.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) latest study tested the math, reading, and science knowledge and skills last year of 15-year-old students at 867 schools from every province in Canada.
