PISA
PISA is the Programme for International Student Assessment. The PISA survey consists of an assessment covering maths, reading and science, together with a questionnaire.
During March 2012 about 3,000 pupils in over 100 schools in Scotland took part in the OECD’s PISA survey. They were the first of about half a million 15-year-olds, in 65 different countries across the world, taking part in the largest ever school-based assessment.
The Scottish results will be published, once all countries results are collated, in December 2013.
