 Programme for International Student Assessment

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It was first implemented in 2000 and is designed to evaluate educational systems by assessing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science. The assessment occurs every three years and focuses on how well students can apply what they have learned in real-world contexts, rather than simply measuring their memorization of factual content.
