The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the UNESCO Regional Office in Santiago announce the regional launch of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) from 2022.
The hybrid event will take place on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 between 10 a.m. and 12:50 p.m. local time in Chile, and will feature opening remarks by José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, ECLAC’s Executive Secretary; Andreas Schleicher, the OECD’s Director for Education and Skills (virtually); and Claudia Uribe, Director of the Regional Multisectoral Office of UNESCO in Santiago.
PISA measures 15-year-olds’ ability to use their reading, mathematics and science knowledge and skills to meet real-life challenges. The latest assessment was conducted in 2022, with 14 countries from this region participating: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
At this event, ECLAC will report on the state of education in the region, and government representatives and specialists from Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Panama will address the implications of the PISA 2022 results for promoting an educational transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
