Giambona, Fracesca; Vassallo, Erasmo; Vassiliadis, Elli – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 2011
We use the PISA 2006 results to analyse students' proficiency in EU countries with regard to two indexes that represent the home background, viz the educational resources available at home and the family background of students.
