Abstract: The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA),
conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),
is a global measure of the educational attainment of 15-year-olds. This article explores
PISA’s methodology, objectives, and its impact on educational policies worldwide. By
examining student performance in reading, mathematics, and science across different
nations, PISA aims to evaluate not only knowledge acquisition but also the application
of skills in real-world contexts. This analysis delves into the significance of PISA
results, critiques of its approach, and the challenges faced by participating countries in
improving their rankings.
