A number of academies, societies and organisations will be distributing an Oxford University Press survey to members, member organisations, committees and Special Interest Groups canvassing views of experts to influence the PISA science programme – PISA is the world’s largest international education study, involving over half a million students across 80 countries. It assesses 15 year olds’ ability to use their reading, mathematics and science knowledge and skills to meet real-life challenges. It provides insights to governments and policy makers and is often a catalyst for change in education systems.
