Shanghai students' performance in financial literacy under the Program for International Student Assessment is still excellent, according to results released on July 9.

Shanghai students have the highest average score in the financial literacy assessment, followed by the Flemish Community of Belgium; Estonia; Australia; New Zealand; the Czech Republic; and Poland, according to the 2012 PISA financial literacy assessment results released by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
