13/03/2012 - With many countries facing shortages of qualified teachers in key subjects, governments need to make the profession more attractive to talented graduates, according to a new OECD report.
Preparing teachers and developing school leaders for the 21st century says that one in five school principals reported that a lack of qualified maths or science teachers was handicapping their students’ learning. In Turkey, for instance, eight out of ten schools have staff shortages in key subjects, and over three out of ten in Luxembourg, Germany, Shanghai-China, and the Netherlands.

Experts at the OECD recently mapped a correlation between performance on the Program for International Student Assessment exam — which every three years tests math, science and reading comprehension skills of 15-year-olds in 65 countries — and the total earnings on natural resources as a percentage of G.D.P. for each participating country. The results indicated that there was a "significant negative relationship between the money countries extract from national resources and the knowledge and skills of their high school population."

Una prueba que todo el mundo puede tomar…
Es una idea tremenda – pero para la OCDE es una manera concreta de saber qué tan preparados están nuestros alumnos para participar en sociedad. Si no estás muy seguro de qué es o hace PISA, y tienes 12 minutos, ponte cómodo. Este video te ayudará a entender por qué los números de la OCDE generan un debate tan intenso sobre el estado de la educación en el mundo cada vez que publican los resultados del último estudio PISA.
Aprenderás mucho—y no serás evaluado!

Fewer pupils in a classroom means a better education: that for decades has been the thinking among parents and politicians. But according to the OECD, it makes no difference at all whether there are 20 or 30 children in a class and in fact larger class sizes might even be better. Just look at South Korea, it says, whose school leavers often learn in groups of 35 or more, and are increasingly finding their way into top universities both here and in America. Seoul correspondent Lucy Williamson unpicks the paradox.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is always a great occasion to focus on the obvious: that some women have made great strides in recent decades in fulfilling their potential; that there is still a long way to go before all women enjoy true equality in all societies. This month's edition of PISA in Focus decided to dig a little deeper: given that girls are doing as well as, if not better than, boys in most core subjects at school, do boys and girls now expect to pursue similar careers when they become adults?

New Zealand’s consistent high performance in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has sparked international curiosity about its success. The education system has probably gone furthest among OECD countries in allowing schools to run themselves. A new OECD report on evaluation and assessment in New Zealand schools provides in-depth information about the country’s unique approach to evaluating student, school and system progress.

Ce numéro montre que les pays les plus performants préfèrent investir les ressources limitées dont ils disposent dans la valorisation des salaires des enseignants plutôt que dans la réduction des effectifs en classe. Ce ne sont ni les pays qui réalisent les dépenses d'éducation les plus importantes, ni les pays les plus riches ; il s'agit plutôt des pays qui s'engagent à offrir à l'ensemble de leurs élèves une éducation de qualité, forts de la conviction que la réussite est à la portée de tous.

We can now add something else to the growing list of things money alone can’t buy: love, happiness–and strong performance in PISA. Results from PISA 2009 show that there is a threshold beyond which a country’s wealth is unrelated to its overall score in PISA.
