PISA 2018 Results (Volume V)
Effective Policies, Successful Schools
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines what students know in reading, mathematics and science, and what they can do with what they know. It provides the most comprehensive and rigorous international assessment of student learning outcomes to date. Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policy makers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. This is one of six volumes that present the results of the PISA 2018 survey, the seventh round of the triennial assessment. Volume V, Effective Policies, Successful Schools, analyses schools and school systems and their relationship with education outcomes more generally. The volume covers school governance, selecting and grouping students, and the human, financial, educational and time resources allocated to teaching and learning. Trends in these indicators are examined when comparable data are available.
Sorting and selecting students between and within schools
This chapter describes how students are selected and sorted into different programmes or tracks, both between and within schools. It discusses the age at which students are first tracked and the types of programmes into which they are tracked (general or vocational). Grouping students by ability, both between and within classes, is also examined. These policies are then related to student performance and equity in the education system.
