PISA 2018

This important study is taking place this term in schools across the UK. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is the world’s largest international education study, involving over 80 countries.

The NFER is delivering PISA to 23 schools selected at random in the GwE Region during the period from 22nd October to 30th November on behalf of the Welsh Government.

We appreciate that the schools selected for PISA are making every effort to participate so that the data is representative of Wales and can be included in the final analyses and to ensure that robust conclusions can be drawn to support evidence informed policy.

PISA results are used to improve teaching and learning and to provide valuable insights into background factors such as pupils’ attitudes, school resources, teaching practices and qualifications and how they relate to pupil achievement.

Thank you for your support.
