What PISA provides A comprehensive assessment of the yield

of education systems including and beyond the curriculum

Comparable skill measures that can guide policy decisions

Insights into the mix of factors which contribute to the development of knowledge and skills

and how these factors operate similarly or differently across countries

A strong substantive and multicultural core for defining performance targets

Summing up Building student engagement with reading…

…may help lift overall performance and counter social disadvantage

Many of the high performing countries have shifted the focus of policy and practice…… from the control over resources to the

management of results– High performance expectations– Strong learning climate and teacher-student relations– Schools with greater freedom to decide on curricular

offerings, establish their learning environment, manage their resources

… from the institutions to learning and the learner

– Individual teacher support and open pathways

PISA cannot provide conclusive answers but can help to ask the right questions
