PISA is a worldwide study run by the OECD that evaluates education systems by measuring the performance of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science. First administered in 2000, it repeats on a three-year cycle, letting participating countries compare their own students against dozens of other national and regional systems over time.
