A World of Knowledge. Learning from PISA

Since its creation almost two decades ago, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has fundamentally changed the international education landscape. Today, PISA commands the attention of governments, global organisations and the world’s media. Over half a million 15-year-olds from 80 countries and economies took the PISA test in 2018, and the results will be published this December. But what will be PISA’s legacy - and what are the opportunities and challenges it presents to policy-makers? Join our panel of expert contributors in this Public Briefing as they consider the impact that PISA has had on education systems across the world and debate its potential for the future. The panel will be led by OECD Education and Skills Director Andreas Schleicher, in conversation with a number of ministers of education whose countries have participated in the international testing programme. Session moderated by Financial Times Global Education Editor Andrew Jack.
