Co-hosts
Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in co-operation with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Objectives
Inspired by the results from the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the conference brought together high-level policymakers, administrators, researchers and educators to examine the design and implementation of educational reform in countries that have shown consistently strong student learning performance or that have seen rapid improvement in recent years. It sought to inform the development of curricula and instructional methods by examining what individuals need to know and be able to do to succeed in tomorrow’s world, given rapid economic, social and demographic changes. The outcomes from this conference will inform the longer-term development of PISA to ensure that it continues to measure progress on those dimensions of competencies that are most relevant to the future success of today’s school children.
