I see I’m not the only one talking about PISA. OECD does like to make a noise about it. They have just announced the results from their latest PISA survey. PISA means Programme for International Student Assessment.
OECD conducts a survey every three years, which compares reading, mathematics and science performance of 15-year-old pupils around the world.
Over half a million 15-year-olds from 79 countries took part in PISA in 2018. This survey focussed on reading, though maths, science...
I think this is a valid argument. On the measurement side, I think PISA goes beyond assessing whether students can reproduce what they have learned in school but counts what counts: thinking across the boundaries of subject-matter disciplines and demonstrating their effective learning strategies. Is this sufficient for engaging in learning later on in life? I believe it is essential. PISA results also show that education systems can pursue excellence and equity at the same time and that high-quality and equitable education is an attainable goal. This is where they can make a difference: helping policy makers in our partner countries to make more informed decisions.

With Estonia coming top among western countries in the PISA rankings, the BBC compares the experience of Estonian students with that of their peers in the UK. While in England, children are being coached for their first national tests at 6 and 7, Estonia is concentrating on their physical, social and emotional readiness to learn. Does quality early years education explain Estonia's outstanding PISA results? Or are other factors at play? What do you think?

Nexus degrees: a fine example of vocational drift in a higher education system. One of the advantages - it works with existing HE institutions.
