1 1 (PISA) How the world s school systems perform - and why this matters OECD s 2006 PISA survey of the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds Paris, 20 February 2008 Barbara Ischinger OECD Directorate for Education
2 2 This session 1. Key priorities in education What the OECD seeks to achieve What PISA measures and why 2. Where we are and where we can be Where countries stand in terms of quality, equity and efficiency in education What the best performing countries show can be achieved 3. How we can get there Some policy levers that emerge from international comparisons Why we need to care.
3 Briefing of Council 14 November Key priorities in education What the OECD seeks to achieve What PISA measures and why
4 4 What the OECD seeks to achieve Developing effective policies that help Raising teaching and learning effectiveness Teacher development, quality of educational workforce Innovation in curriculum and pedagogy Efficiency and effectiveness of education systems Closing the skills gap Meeting changes in the demand and supply of skills (both with regard to quantity and nature of skills), etc. Raising quality and relevance of higher education Internationalisation, changing roles of institutions, governance issues, etc Promoting social mobility and inclusive education Distribution of resources and outcomes, integration of immigrants, special needs etc.
5 Mean task input as percentiles of the 1960 task distribution 5 The world keeps changing do our school systems? Economy-wide measures of routine and non-routine task input (US) 65 Routine manual Nonroutine manual Routine cognitive Nonroutine analytic Nonroutine interactive (Levy and Murnane)
6 6 Assessing educational performance looking back at what students were expected to have learned or looking ahead to how well they can extrapolate from what they have learned and apply their knowledge and skills in novel settings. For PISA, the OECD countries chose the latter.
7 7 PISA The OECD Programme for A three-yearly global assessment that examines the performance of 15-year-olds in key subject areas as well as a wider range of educational outcomes Including students attitudes to learning and their learning behaviour collects contextual data from students, parents, schools and systems in order to identify policy levers Coverage Representative samples of between 3,500 and 50, year-old students drawn in each country Most federal countries also draw regional samples PISA covers roughly 90% of the world economy.

9 Briefing of Council 14 November Key findings from PISA 2006 Where we are how students perform across countries Where we can be the top performers

15 Immigrants and student performance The challenges international migration poses to education systems can be successfully addressed Native students First-generation students Second-generation students Education in the host country can make a difference OECD average = 500 The challenges won t go away Native by students themselves 550 Second-generation students In some countries second-generation students perform equally poor than their first generation counterparts Schools should do better in building on the emotive capital of immigrant students as a driving source for 450 enhancing their learning Much of this motivational potential dissipates as students stay First-generation students longer in the country 350 Institutional barriers (selection/tracking) tend to reinforce socio-economic disparities 300 Early diagnosis and intervention pay Language is a key foundation Immersion combined with support can work.

18 19 Investments and outcomes Since 2000, expenditure per primary and secondary student increased across OECD countries by 39% (in real terms) while PISA outcomes generally remained flat but there are notable exceptions
19 OECD 2006 Poland 2000 Poland 2003 Poland 2006 PISA 20 Poland raised its reading performance by 28 PISA points, equivalent to ¾ of a school year - What happened? % 90 Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Below Level 1 Level 1 70 Between 2000 and 2003, performance variation among schools fell from 51% to 16% of the variation of student performance Between 2000 and 2003 showed the secondlargest increase in reading (17 points) and a further 11 point increase since 2003 But did this lead to genuine improvements of school performance? Most of that increase resulted from smaller proportions at the bottom level (23% in 2000, and three-quarters in vocational tracks, 17%in 2003) Did this harm the better performers? OECD (2007), Learning for tomorrow s world: First results from PISA 2006, Table 6.1a
20 21 Student attitudes 15-year-olds generally value science Recognition of economic and social benefits but somewhat less so when it concerns themselves only a minority expresses interest in a scientific career, on average across the OECD 37% would like to work in a career involving science 31% would like to study science after school 27% would like to work in a science project later Close relationships with performance and socioeconomic background.

27 30 Strong ambitions Integrated educational opportunities Accountability Devolved responsibility, the school as the centre of action From prescribed forms of teaching and assessment towards personalised learning Access to best practice and quality professional development
28 31 High ambitions Integrated educational opportunities Accountability and intervention in inverse proportion to success Access to best practice and quality professional development Devolved responsibility, the school as the centre of action Personalized learning
29 32 Progress Why care? Concerns about skill barriers to economic growth, productivity growth and rates of technological innovation One additional year of education equals to between 3 and 6% of GDP Rising college-level qualifications seem generally not to have led to an inflation of the labour-market value of qualifications (in all but three of the 20 countries with available data, the earnings benefit increased between 1997 and 2003, in Germany, Italy and Hungary by between 20% and 40%) Fairness Concerns about the role of skills in creating social inequity in economic outcomes Both average and distribution of skill matter to long-term growth Value for money Concerns about the demand for, and efficiency and effectiveness of, investments in public goods
