PISA 2022 challenge
The Philippines is gearing up for the upcoming Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) that will be conducted from March 28 to May 20.
PISA assesses 15-year-old students’ Mathematics, Science, and Reading competencies and is conducted every three years across various countries.
PISA measures what students have learned to-date and their preparedness for higher education and the workplace. Results from this international assessment help countries craft stronger education policies and programs that will equip students to face real-life challenges.
The Philippines participated in PISA for the first time in 2018. However, the country’s scores in Mathematics, Science, and Reading were way below the average of the participating countries. This year, the Philippines will participate again in PISA where aside from demonstrating academic competency, students must overcome the technical challenges associated with computer-based exams such as doing simulations, data generation, and information analysis.
