PISA
Programme for International Student Assessment
📋 About the PISA
PISA is the world's largest international educational assessment, measuring 15-year-old students' ability to apply their knowledge in reading, mathematics, and science to real-world challenges. Conducted by the OECD every three years since 2000, PISA assesses over 600,000 students from 80+ countries, providing crucial data that shapes education policy worldwide. Unlike curriculum-based tests, PISA focuses on how well students can apply what they've learned to novel situations.
