1 Excellence and equity Andreas Schleicher Director for Education and Skills
2 PISA in brief In 2015, over half a million students - represen'ng 28 million 15-year-olds in 72 countries/economies took an interna9onally agreed 2-hour test - Goes beyond tes'ng whether students can reproduce what they were taught to assess students capacity to extrapolate from what they know and crea'vely apply their knowledge in novel situa'ons - Total of 390 minutes of assessment material and responded to ques9ons on - their personal background, their schools, their well-being and their mo'va'on Parents, principals, teachers and system leaders provided data on: - school policies, prac'ces, resources and ins'tu'onal factors that help explain performance differences - 89,000 parents, 93,000 teachers and 17,500 principals responded

4 Science in PISA the ability to engage with sciencerelated issues, and with the ideas of science, as a reflective citizen
5 Drag Ragworms and Common Sole into Tank 2 and Marsh Grass and Shellfish into Tank 3 This question requires students to understand a system and the role of several organisms within that system. In order to answer correctly, students must understand the goal of the fish farm, the function of each of the three tanks therein, and which organisms will best fulfill each function. Students must use information provided in the stimulus and the diagram, including a footnote under the diagram

45 Looking forward
46 Some key ques9ons for social cohesion and sustainable development PISA OECD Programme for Interna'onal Student Assessment How well are students prepared for life, ci'zenship and employment in mul'cultural socie'es and in a globalised world? To what degree are students able to examine contemporary issues? Are students able to understand and appreciate mul'ple cultural perspec'ves (including their own) and manage differences and conflicts? To what degree are students prepared to interact with others with respect for the inviolable rights and dignity of every individual? To what degree do students care about the world and take ac'on to make a difference?
47 PISA OECD Programme for Interna'onal Student Assessment PISA defini9on of Global Competence Global Competence is the capacity to examine global and intercultural issues, to take mul'ple perspec'ves, to engage in open, appropriate and effec've interac'ons with people from different cultures and to act for collec've well-being and sustainable development.
