PISA 2015 Results (Volume I)
Excellence and Equity in Education
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what
students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with what
they know. Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity
of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere, and allow them to learn from the policies
and practices applied in other countries. PISA 2015 Results (Volume I): Excellence
and Equity in Education, is one of five volumes that present the results of the PISA
2015 survey, the sixth round of the triennial assessment. It summarises student performance
in science, reading and mathematics, and defines and measures equity in education.
It focuses on students’ attitudes towards learning science, including their expectations
of working in science-related careers. The volume also discusses how performance and
equity have evolved across PISA-participating countries and economies over recent
years.
