It's not just PISA. There is no international comparison that doesn't show it working well. Our children are more literate more numerate, and better at logical reasoning on average than almost all children anywhere in the western world. bsky.app/profile/dais...

I think we need to start by acknowledging that it's not just one test; it's several tests, it's all of the tests that attempt to test this thing. bsky.app/profile/dais...

Except it's not just PISA, any attempt to compare educational performance between nations shows exactly the same thing. bsky.app/profile/dais...

Been reading your stuff on this and it's v interesting. I'm wondering if you see the point generalising to the concept of 'study skills'?

All of this could be anywhere on a spectrum from 'good' to 'fine, meh' to 'total disaster'. As Jonathan says, a lot depends on how it fits into accountability frameworks. But honestly it's not a priority for the system. Much better to focus on school improvement, and most of all, FE.
