International Studies

Welcome to the Irish national PISA website.

PISA is the largest international study of education, examining the reading, mathematics and science achievements of students as they approach the end of compulsory schooling. It began in 2000 and is carried out every three years. This website provides an overview of what PISA is, who participates, how it is carried out, and national contact information. National PISA publications are also available on the website, along with information for students, parents and schools. Links to international PISA resources (publications, databases, contact information) are also provided.
