Trust has always mattered to individuals, communities, economies and democracies. But many democracies today are facing declining voter turnout, while growing ideological divides fuel polarisation, leading people to distrusting and even disliking those with opposing views. This erosion of trust weakens the threads that bind societies together. To respond, education systems need to teach students […]

What kind of teaching do we need for the future we want? As global expectations for learners rise, so too do the demands placed on our teachers. While many education systems focus on what students should learn to thrive in an uncertain future, they also need to consider how to best support teachers so they, […]
PISA for Schools is an OECD assessment that evaluates 15-year-old performance on reading, mathematics, and science. It also gathers insights into students’ learning environment, engagement and well-being, offering schools valuable data that help them benchmark performance internationally and improve education outcomes. A central ambition, and ongoing challenge, has been translating these insights into meaningful actions that […]
The future of teaching will be shaped by its capacity to innovate, and that innovation often begins in the classroom. As traditional educational models struggle to meet the needs of today’s learners, a growing movement is reimagining teaching as relationship-centered, metacognitive and something that is grounded in real-world problem-solving. But what kind of support do […]

From recruitment algorithms to workplace monitoring, […]
Creating inclusive classrooms is essential for supporting all learners, including those with special education needs such as dyslexia, autism and ADHD. These environments not only benefit students with special education needs, but also enrich the learning experience for all children, encouraging empathy, understanding and collaboration. This helps ensure that every student can achieve their full […]
Artificial intelligence is being heralded by many for its transformative potential in education, offering personalised learning experiences and more efficient school administration.
