International assessments
International assessments are standardized tests designed to evaluate the skills and knowledge of students across different countries. They help compare educational performance, identify strengths and weaknesses in education systems, and guide policymakers in making improvements. Examples include assessments like PISA (Program for International Student Assessment), which tests reading, math, and science skills of 15-year-olds worldwide. These assessments provide valuable insights into how well students are learning and how different education systems support student success, fostering a better understanding of educational quality on a global scale.
