HRD agrees to end PISA boycott, India to participate in 2021
The decision to boycott PISA was taken by the UPA government, which had blamed “out of context” questions for the poor show in 2009. The country, subsequently, chose to not participate in the 2012 and 2015 cycle.
PISA — introduced in the year 2000 by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) — tests the learning levels of 15-year-olds in reading, mathematics and science. The test is carried out every three years. India stayed away from PISA in 2012 and 2015 on account of its dismal performance in 2009, when it was placed 72nd among the 74 participating countries
The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry, under Prakash Javadekar, formally decided to end this boycott last week. The ministry, The Indian Express has learnt, will dispatch a team of officers to Paris this year to negotiate India’s terms of participation in 2021 with OECD.
