Mongolia to Participate in Its Second PISA www.montsame.mn
In accordance with 35.6 of Article 35 of the General Law on Education of Mongolia, which stipulates that the quality of education shall be assessed every three years by an international authority, Mongolia is preparing to participate in the second Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
PISA, organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) every three years since 2000, is considered one of the largest international assessments, as it involves over 90 countries worldwide.
PISA measures 15-year-olds’ ability to use their reading, mathematics, and science knowledge and skills to meet real-life challenges. Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning of the countries involved and allow educators and policymakers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries.
As part of the preparation for the second PISA, a pilot assessment was conducted in Mongolia in April and May 2024. A total of 2,513 students from 32 schools completed tasks and questionnaires. Additionally, parents of the students, 154 teachers, and 32 school principals and educational managers participated in this assessment.
Approximately 190 schools and 7,500 students will be randomly selected for the second PISA. The assessment will be conducted jointly by the Ministry of Education, the General Authority for Education of Mongolia, the Education Evaluation Center of Mongolia, and other affiliated organizations between March and May 2025.
