Sample Design
The desired base PISA target population in each country consisted of 15-year-old students attending educational institutions in grades 7 and higher. This meant that countries were to include:
- 15-year-olds enrolled full-time in educational institutions;
- 15-year-olds enrolled in educational institutions who attended only on a part-time basis;
- students in vocational training programmes, or any other related type of educational programmes; and
- students attending foreign schools within the country (as well as students from other countries attending any of the programmes in the first three categories).
