As of today Macedonia joins the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015, which is an international survey aiming to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.

The assessment, which will be conducted in more than 60 states worldwide, is realized by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The trial testing in Macedonia will be realized today at 10 am. It will be conducted on Macedonian and Albanian language at representative sample of 1.500 students in 38 high schools in the country. Official PISA testing will be conducted in 2015.

PISA aims at testing literacy in three competence fields - reading, mathematics and science. It was first performed in 2000 and then repeated every three years.
