What did the PISA 2018 global competence test assess, and why is it important?

Today’s students live in an interconnected, diverse and rapidly changing world. In this complex environment, a student’s ability to understand the world and appreciate the multiple different perspectives they are likely to encounter is key to their success.
In 2018, the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted its first evaluation of students’ capacity to live in an interconnected world. The assessment focused on students’ knowledge of issues of local and global significance, including public health, economic and environmental issues, as well as their intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes. The results of this assessment - PISA 2018 Volume VI - will be launched on 22 October.
Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills, and students from around the world explain why these skills are important in today’s interconnected world.
