Consider This: OECD’s Andreas Schleicher on Malaysia's PISA Performance
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses the knowledge and skills of 15-year-old students globally, in mathematics, reading and science. Unlike conventional assessments, PISA goes beyond rote memorization, instead assess students' ability to apply knowledge creatively, think critically, solve complex problems, and communicate effectively. Essentially, it gives an approximation into how well the education system is preparing students for real life challenges and future success.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General at the OECD in Paris.
