International tests like PISA have played a huge part in evidence-based education reform globally, and there are some fascinating cases to be made for the value of these benchmarks.

This episode of ‘Brighter Futures’ features a panel of guests perfectly placed to give us a wider view on the remarkable influence these tests can have for global education.

We’re joined by Former Schools Minister Rt. Hon. Nick Gibb, EDT's Dr Richard Churches and CfBT Brunei's Dr Louise Pagden, who can share how PISA programmes have helped create positive change in England, Dubai, and Brunei.

This episode covers

  • The power of PISA and other benchmark tests to drive educational reform
  • How data has been used in England, Dubai and Brunei to develop education within these countries
  • The value in taking consistent, long-term measurement through these testing formats
  • Reasons that notable omissions from the list of countries taking part in PISA might consider joining
