Andreas Schleicher, director of Education and Skills of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), urged to continue with the necessary studies to apply the PISA test in 2025, which he said is at risk.
The OECD call was given to the president commissioner of the National Commission for the Continuous Improvement of Education (Mejoredu), Silvia Valle Tépatl.
“Mexico’s participation in the next PISA 2025 round is currently at risk, as I understand that the necessary preparations to implement the study have been suspended,” he points out.
In the letter dated this Friday, he explains that “the decision to participate in PISA 2025 can wait until the end of 2024, but the decision to participate will only be possible if Mexico carries out a field test this year. The field test is an essential part of the preparations and ensures that Mexico has a national version of the instruments ready for next year.
It also indicates that it is essential that preparations for the field test begin in the coming weeks, and that this be carried out in around 50 schools by September 2024 at the latest. “The results of the field test are not published “he clarifies.
It specifies that PISA will focus on students’ skills in science, including a new component on environmental sciences.
