While Joana, a 15-year-old daughter from Fortaleza inwards Brazil, was sitting the PISA examination inwards 2015, her cousin, too fifteen exactly living inwards the countryside, was busy working inwards the solid unit of measurement business. In fact, past times the fourth dimension they plough 15, many adolescents inwards low- in addition to middle-income countries are no longer enrolled inwards schoolhouse (or convey never been), especially inwards sub-Saharan Africa in addition to South in addition to West Asia. But soon, those children may live on able to sit down a PISA examination specifically designed for out-of-school youth.
Increasing the educational attainment of immature adults has been the focus of much attempt over recent decades. But nosotros all know that having children pass to a greater extent than fourth dimension inwards schoolhouse does non guarantee that every educatee volition learn.

This challenging destination urges countries non solely to increment access to education, exactly too to improve the skills of students who are already inwards school. If you lot intend it is impossible to create both at the same time, you lot in all likelihood convey non nonetheless read the latest PISA inwards Focus.
This month’s number investigates what happened to the PISA results of countries, such equally Albania, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Jordan, Mexico, Turkey in addition to Uruguay, all of which expanded their didactics systems to include previously excluded – in addition to to a greater extent than frequently than non disadvantaged – populations. Perhaps surprisingly, for many of them, average performance improved.
PISA shows that the goals of to a greater extent than inclusive in addition to better-quality didactics tin become manus inwards manus inwards low- in addition to middle-income countries when governments are committed to standard the outcomes of schooling. In other words, it shows that countries create non convey to pick out betwixt character in addition to quantity. While dismantling the barriers to schooling, countries tin too deal every educatee acquire the skills they postulate to thrive inwards increasingly knowledge-intensive economies.
