PISA
Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA), sponsored by the OECD, is conducted every three years since 2000. It is an international survey which evaluates 15-year-old students’ reading, mathematics, and science literacy. PISA aims to assess to what degree students approaching the end of their compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for the challenges in society and the foundation of life-long learning.
