The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is the world’s biggest international education study, involving schools and pupils in more than 80 countries.
Co-ordinated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), PISA helps us to understand how well pupils can apply knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics and science in everyday life to analyse, reason and communicate effectively. It also collects valuable information on pupils’ attitudes and motivations to help understand how they contribute to pupil performance.
Findings from the study will provide high-quality, internationally comparative data to inform education policy in the UK and across the world. This can be used to improve teaching and learning in reading, science and maths and to provide valuable insights into background factors such as pupils’ attitudes, school resources, teachers’ practices and qualifications – and how they relate to pupil achievement. PISA 2018 will particularly focus on reading skills and attitudes towards reading.
