The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental organization that provides a forum for governments to collaborate on economic and social issues. One of its most well known initiatives is the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and this year the focus is on science. PISA generally runs every three years and has recently focused on reading and maths.
The PISA survey, titled Agency in the Anthropocene, asks 15 year olds in 92 countries and economies about their knowledge of climate change by exploring human interactions with the Earth's systems.
In this article, Andreas Schleicher, the OECD’s director of education, "describes the refreshed science framework as a ‘small revolution’ addressing students’ capacity to distinguish scientific evidence from misinformation in the context of the ‘biggest challenge of our times – our environment’.”
It is expected the results from the survey will be ready in the latter part of 2026.
