Introduction: To know how environmentally friendly architecture contributes to the environment and the education of students, you will need to know the results of the PISA test (Programme for International Student Assessment) . The PISA test is a national test for 15-year-olds and the country is ranked against other countries that have taken the test. Improvement is necessary in schools because there is a need to know what equipment will help students expand their knowledge and what learning techniques will help them understand and relate their knowledge to the outside world. The layout of a school affects the size of each room and how the layout would help students move around better. The necessary materials used for a green school are recycled or reusable, which helps protect the environment around them. The money needed in a school varies, as a normal energy school costs much more than a green school, as the materials used in a normal school are not reused or recycled. PISA test: “America was ranked 14th in reading, 25th in mathematics and 17th in science among the entire world” (In the ranking, American students lag behind the world leader). Every year our results continue to get worse, which is very disappointing for the United States since we are not at a disadvantage and 99% of Americans have graduated from high school. Each year, test scores decline, causing our test scores to drop each year. “Students know how to solve problems, but once they put them in the real world, they don't know how to solve the answer. Unlike the United States, Shanghai is ranked first in university studies. Shanghai scored 113 points higher in reading and mathematics. that the United States and Shanghai scored 56 points above average. School Improvements Needed:...... middle of document......
