PISA TESTS: LET’S STOP OBSESSING OVER RANKINGS AND ACTUALLY HELP KIDS LEARN
Keywords:
Education is very important. It helps kids get ready for life, jobs, and being part of society. Countries want to know how their schools are doing, so they use international tests like PISA. This test is from the OECD and checks 15-year-olds in reading, math, and science.Abstract
The main problem is that many countries care too much about PISA rankings instead of looking at students’ real skills and learning challenges. People get excited or worried about positions on the list, but few look at what the scores really tell about learning. In this essay, I will explain what PISA is, why focusing only on rankings is a problem, and how we can use the results to improve schools.
