This study examines reading performance of PISA 2018 in five ethnic Chinese economies, which includes four provinces/cities of China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, in order to assess the effects of school climate on reading performance from a comparative education perspective. The five ethnic Chinese economies are proximal in social, cultural and everyday life. Secondary analysis revealed that the school climate variables analyzed generally are able to predict students’ reading performance with statistical significant effects. Though many of the school climate effects are common across the five economies, there are unique effects as well. Regarding these findings, educational practitioners should consider the local contexts while seeking to improve the school climate as well as students’ gender differences in school climate awareness. In so doing, students’ reading performance can be further improved. |
