Professional conversation listening: PISA Test

Surprising ideas

Germany in 2000, Pisa found that more than one in five students in
the country did not reach the baseline level of proficiency in
reading.

By 2015 the country's lowest-performing students had improved

their mathematics scores by 34 points the equivalent of one full
year of schooling.
 Ideas to remember

Every country and economy can improve student performance and

make its school system more inclusive.

Pisa shows that those outcomes are not only desirable they're
attainable.
