| Summary: | In 2015, students from more than 72
countries and economies participated in PISA, an
international assessment. Administered every three years by
the OECD, PISA measures the skills of 15 year-old students
in applying their knowledge of science, reading, and math to
real life problems. PISA provides data on the strengths and
areas for development in education systems, supports the
development of effective policies, and allows for
benchmarking country achievements relative to other
participating countries. The World Bank has performed
in-depth analyses using PISA 2015 data. The analysis
provides insight into factors which determine which
education policies have led to improvements – and those
which should be strengthened, in various systems. This brief
includes regional reports for the Europe and Central Asia
(ECA) region and the European Union (EU). A summary for each
regional report is included. This brief also includes
individual analyses for 22 select countries and economies in
the ECA region. The brief analyzes education system
inequalities, the benefits of preschool attendance, and
student factors, among many others, which impact performance. |
